Piano Mate and Piano School for Children                            Piano Mate is the ideal course for those who want to learn the piano in a fun and imaginative atmosphere. Working in a group of up to ten students, pupils have the additional advantage of being able to play by ear as well as reading music in a more formal and traditional way as lessons progress. This course is for both children ( 8 and above) and adults. It attracts many adults who used to learn and want to come back to study in a more informal, stress-free environment. As well as reading and playing music the course also focuses on improvisation, accompaniment and arranging music. Exams are optional but follow a fully accredited Trinity College exam syllabus and will take the student from beginner to Grade 8 standard. Our Piano Course for Children is aimed at young  people who are six or seven years old. The course works along the lines of our Junior Music Course and Junior Play For Keeps Course. At the age of six, a child's attention span has started to lengthen and they can stay focused for longer. This course is solfege based and builds a firm pianistic technique for those who follow it.
