PIANO LESSONS

Piano is an extremely popular instrument to learn. As a pianist, you can create sounds that are big enough to be the sound of a full orchestra, you can accompany other players, accompany yourself singing, or perform within an ensemble.

This diverse instrument is also a fantastic way to go about understanding music as a whole. It is a very “visual” instrument that young musicians often gravitate towards for understanding the way that music works.

Learning piano at Barnes Music means that you can rest assured that you, or your child, will be receiving a thorough musical education.

You will get the best start you can have if you are beginning, or even get to iron out any technique problems if you have been playing for a while.

Barnes Music offers many opportunities for all students including:

* Annual Concert – all students are given the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice in November, when Barnes Music takes to the stage at “The Dungeon”. This gives all students a taste of performing, the chance to perform as part of a group/band, workshop and rehearsal time with experienced performers and tutors. An annual gig at a fully-professional venue.

* Band workshops – all students are given the opportunity to take part in a “Band Jam Day” (mid-year). These jam days give students a taste of working as a group and the chance to enjoy what their instrument is designed to do! In the past, these “Band Jam Days” have been very successful and have provided excellent motivation for the students involved.

*Exams – all students are given the opportunity to prepare for a practical and/or theory exam each year. All teachers are qualified to prepare students for classical or contemporary exams. We find these exams an excellent way to provide a thorough musical education, but we also understand that they are not for everyone. It is each students choice as to whether they would like to participate in these exams.

*Recording – at various times of the year, students are recorded within their lesson in order to keep a log of their progress and also as keepsake for the student. Recording is an excellent way of learning through hearing a students progress and where their playing could also improve.
