The Children’s Music Academy has been created to provide excellent music education to young children who reside in Central London.
As we know the importance of being well-guided from the start, we have selected our music instructors very carefully to ensure that your children will learn all the correct techniques from their first hours spent at the instrument.
All our music teachers possess both outstanding skills and a lovely personality necessary for your children music lessons to be both highly educational and extremely enjoyable.
We believe that by appreciating their music instructors, your children will undoubtedly be more inclined to do their homework happily and develop a deep love for their instrument.
Depending upon your wishes, we can either help your children work on their grade examinations or offer them a more flexible music education.
The most important is your children happiness and the extraordinary relationship they will have with music. We wish them to have beautiful memories of their music lessons and hopefully use the precious skills learned during their sessions in the future.
At The Children’s Music Academy, we have too often met parents who themselves had terrible memories of their music teacher, and it is for this reason that we strive in offering a brilliant but enjoyable music instruction.
As all our music instructors have themselves benefited from the highest music instruction with some of the world most renowned masters, you can be assured of the outstanding quality of their teaching and ability to adapt to your children and help them learn in a manner that is easy for them to understand.

Common questions
Where are the piano lessons held?
In Fitzrovia, W1 — a few minutes from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street — and in studios across Central London.
Who are the teachers?
Experienced performers and teachers who have studied under some of Europe’s finest musicians, and who specialise in teaching children rather than adults.
How are the lessons structured?
Weekly, on a set day and time. Each lesson builds technique, musical expression and confidence together rather than drilling one at the expense of the others, and the balance is matched to your child rather than to a fixed syllabus.
How long is each piano lesson?
Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Shorter lessons usually suit younger beginners; longer lessons suit children who are progressing towards more demanding repertoire.
When can my child start?
At any point in the year. Lessons are weekly on a set day and time, and are paid monthly.
Does my child need to have played before?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, and lessons are tailored to the level your child is starting from.
What if my child is not especially talented?
Then they are like almost every child who starts. Talent is not the entry requirement — attention is, and a good teacher builds that. Children are never judged or criticised here, and progress is measured against where your child began rather than against anybody else.
What is the minimum commitment?
Two months. Lessons are paid monthly, and notice of four teaching weeks can be given from the end of the first month — so the shortest possible commitment is two months.
Do we need a piano at home?
Yes. Your child needs an instrument to practise on between lessons, and having a good one from the first week makes a real difference to how much they enjoy it. If you are not sure what to buy, ask us and we will recommend something.
Can my child take ABRSM or Trinity exams?
Yes, and they are optional. Grades give a course structure and something to aim at, and the certificate at the end is worth more to a child than adults tend to expect.
How much should my child practise?
Fifteen minutes a day is plenty to begin with, rising as they get older and more able. Daily and short beats weekly and long.
Can I sit in on the lesson?
Yes. It helps you understand what the teacher is asking for, which makes practice at home easier. If your child concentrates better alone with the teacher, that is worth respecting too.
Do you offer a discount for siblings?
No. Our teachers are paid for their expertise and their time, and a sibling lesson takes as much of both as any other.

A child who learns the piano develops three gifts for life:
a trained ear, the discipline to master something difficult,
and the ability to express what words cannot.
These are gifts that remain long after childhood.
