Clairice is offering private piano tutoring for ages 6 and up. This is an ideal opportunity for those who have always wanted to play the instrument, and for parents who would like to avoid the school tutoring system as it takes precious time out of the school day.

No prior musical knowledge is required.

Music is something that should be encouraged from the earliest age, but can also give great joy to those wishing to learn as a hobby later in life. There is never a bad time to start learning!!
