Frequently Asked Questions

For rotating lessons three students attend the same 60 minute lesson. During the lesson students rotate through three different stations:

  • One-on-one lesson with the teacher
  • Working independently on the digital piano
  • Completing music theory lab activities

Rotating Lessons are different to group lessons, as although students are attending their lesson at the same time, they aren’t working on the same material. All activities are tailored to the age, stage, and interests of individual students.

The one-on-one part of the lesson looks a lot like a traditional piano lesson: the student and teacher work together on learning and reviewing pieces, theory concepts, and technical exercises.

During their independent work on the digital piano students complete assigned tasks which can include: practising pieces and scales, sight reading, ear training, composing, improvising, and learning pieces independently.

For the music theory lab students focus on different topics which provides a great overview of essential concepts. Activities include: completing theory worksheets, watching music theory videos, playing music apps, and completing special interest projects.

Readiness is less about age and more about self management. If students are able to work independently for 20 minutes at a time, they should be ready for these lessons.

For one week each term our usual weekly rotating lessons are replaced with three different workshops. Students are able to attend as many as they want during this week.

There are a variety of topics including technique, style, theory, and music history. The workshops are a great opportunity to explore new topics and cover other material in more detail.

Students of different ages and stages attend the same workshops, which have a range of activities and material suitable for different levels.

Regular practice is essential to making progress, so developing good practice habits will help you get the most out of music lessons.

Students will complete twenty minutes of practice as part of their weekly lessons, and it’s a good idea to try and fit in at least two (or more!) practice sessions between lessons.

Practice Power-Up (a digital library of practice resources) and the Studio Lending Library are also available for all students. These include a variety of fun and practical resources to help support practice.
