Our keyboard lessons provide a good introduction to learning and reading western musical notation. Keyboard lessons also provide a suitable background for those who wish to advance to piano lessons- perhaps private tuition or more concentrated one on one lessons post intermediate school. A keyboard sounds like the piano, but lacks its size and weight. You are advised to purchase a touch sensitive keyboard.

Lessons: Each lesson is 45 minutes in length with a maximum of 6 students

Class Times: Saturday mornings between 8.30 and 12.30pm

Level 1 and 2 classes are available early morning (8.30, 9.15), mid morning (10.15, 11.00) or late morning (11.45)

Level 3 and 4 classes please check with the school supervisor for specific times as this will depend on numbers enrolled.

Students will need to provide their own keyboard and a set of headphones for lessons.

Headphones are for sale at the music school office.

We recommend a 61 note keyboard (5 and a half octaves) with touch response.

The school is unable to hire keyboards. Please speak to the school supervisor who may be able to assist in the purchase of an instrument.
