Online Piano Lessons

Lessons run at a fixed weekly time over video call. You play, Riddhita listens and watches, and she stops you where something needs attention — much as she would sitting beside you. Most of a piano lesson is listening carefully and watching hands, and both carry well over video.

Students range from complete beginners to those working on Grade 8 and diploma repertoire. Early on the work is posture, hand shape and reading; later it moves to phrasing, pedalling and bringing pieces up to performance standard. Graded examinations with ABRSM or Trinity College London are prepared in the same way online as in person.

It suits adults fitting lessons around work, families who would rather not add a journey to a weekday evening, and students outside the area, including those abroad. For younger children the same structure applies, with a parent nearby for the first few weeks.

Some secondary schools use a music aptitude test as part of admission. The test is about listening rather than playing: hearing differences in pitch and rhythm, noticing texture, and repeating short patterns back accurately.

Preparation works on those skills directly — regular aural work, musical memory, and enough practice with the format that the test itself holds no surprises. No formal theory or graded repertoire is required. Students who also want to offer a solo piece are helped to prepare it, without moving the focus off the listening work.
