Useful Information Our fees are charged at £9.50 per hour and we will ask you to pay for 10 lessons in advance. This can be by cheque, cash or an online payment. We do not accept credit or debit cards. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions. All our lessons are taught in groups, typically of 6-8 pupils. This is because Yamaha courses are designed to be taught in groups. We do not use headphones and pupils are busy for the full hour. There are certainly many places that do use headphones and the contact time between teacher and student is usually around 5 minutes in every hour, for which you can pay anything up to £12. This allows teachers to take pupils of very different standards at the same time. You are effectively 'paying to practise' in these circumstances. Something we consider to be extremely unfair. For beginners we offer a free taster lesson which lasts around 30 minutes, where our unique teaching methods can be experienced at first hand. If you already play, we offer a free assessment lasting around 20 minutes and then the opportunity to join an existing class for a free introductory lesson. If the class proves to be unsuitable we will offer you other classes until you feel comfortable with the level. Every
Yamaha teacher undergoes a rigorous training programme with the emphasis on
making music "fun" for the student no matter what their age or experience. We
specialise in teaching beginners and our portfolio of courses offers something
for every member of the family. Exam Fees Below is a table with exam fees for the year 2008. This applies to both Play for Keeps and Trinity Piano exams. Trinity Guildhall Exams
