The Piano

Is the Piano for you? 

Are you interested in being able to play the piano as a classical soloist? Perhaps you would like to learn jazz improvisation? Are you a singer who would like to accompany yourself? Do you want to learn the piano to help your understanding of music theory? Or are you choosing an instrument for your child to learn?

There are many different reasons that people choose to learn the piano, and it’s a great starting instrument for everyone – from young to old. 
As well as being great fun to learn, it also helps with coordination, posture, aural development and music reading. 

At Cherry Pie Music we teach every style of music and our teachers will always customise the lesson to suit the student, so that they learn exactly what they want to learn.
