Pop music isn’t the first genre of music to come to mind when thinking of the piano, we will assume it’s more like the classical pieces of Bach or Beethoven, right?

The piano is found in more pop hits than you’d think. Think Elton John.. think Little Richie…think Adele. To study pop music you can expand your repertoire into an alternative to classical pieces.

Learning pop is a handy tool for understanding the fundamental basics of piano playing. Plus they are usually upbeat and enjoyable to play. And hear. There is such a vast catalogue you will not be stuck for new material too soon. Or ever maybe!

It is considered that many tutors will stick to one genre but not at the S & C. We cater for all musical styles. Giving you a range of styles is beneficial in the long run re versatility.

With internationally-recognised tutors with years of teaching and performance experience, there really is no better place to learn.

With lessons for beginner, intermediate and advanced level, the institute will teach you the correct techniques, increase your confidence, and even give you the opportunity to play with others, allowing you to demonstrate your talents in public. It is a fun and friendly way to increase your abilities around other people.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to play the piano the proper way. If you’re a beginner, there is no substitute for perfect technique. Likewise, if you have some experience but developed bad habits over time, this can affect your performance and progression. That’s why it’s imperative to start correctly from the outset.

It is sadly true that too many piano instructors fail to teach the fundamentals. As a result, you may find yourself unable to progress at a satisfactory rate. If like many people you’ve tried the piano but gave up due to a lack of progress, the fault is unlikely to lie your own. Your frustration was far more likely due to inadequate teaching. No matter your age or ability, anyone can learn the piano with supportive tutoring and a will to succeed. 

This is where we come in. The laid-back, non-judgemental environment at S & C will increase your ability at a rate that will even surprise yourself. With a range of programmes to suit your lifestyle, there’s never been a better time to invest in first-rate, quality piano tuition. 

We provide both solo and group sessions, depending on your choice. And the tuition doesn’t just cover pop either. Here at the institute, you’ll find tutors who specialise in jazz, rock, blues, and classical music. Whatever music you sympathise with you’ll be able to take away valuable advice and techniques from the less favoured music styles to assist your learning.

The immense amount of experience on hand, coupled with the ability of tutors to adapt to a wide range of music styles and abilities, will ensure you gain knowledge that is second to none.

Group sessions are also available and highly popular. If you enjoy meeting new people and practising together, these classes can greatly assist your musical future.
