The activity

Music Lessons, explained

Music lessons teach children to play an instrument or sing from scratch: reading notes, keeping a steady beat, and building the finger, hand or breath control each instrument needs. Early lessons focus on basic technique and simple pieces, then move on to theory, sight-reading and playing to an audience as confidence grows. Lessons are usually weekly and one-to-one, and progress shows in what a child can actually play. Many families also work towards graded exams such as ABRSM, though exams are optional. Piano is a common first instrument because it gives an early, audible result; wind instruments such as clarinet usually suit older children with more lung capacity. Oohlala suggests around age 4 as a good time to start.

Who it's for

Children and adults, beginner to advanced. The school suggests around age 4 as a good time to start, with piano and drums lessons for children from age 4. Its own instrument pages give typical starting ages of 5-7 for drums, 6-7 for guitar, 5-6 for singing and around 9-10 for clarinet, though the teacher decides after the free assessment.

What to expect

The first visit is a free assessment. The teacher sees where your child is and recommends a course and a lesson schedule, and your child can try different instruments before settling on one. There's no need to bring an instrument, as the school has its own, though it recommends having one at home to practise on. After that you choose a package: once a week (4, 12 or 24 classes) or twice a week (36 or 48 classes), each in 30- or 50-minute lessons. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice, and packages can be frozen over the summer holidays.
