Meet The Teacher
Lessons are taught by pianist and composer, Maxwell Rafeian. Max is an experienced teacher and a graduate of Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. He has taught ABRSM and Trinity piano and music theory to countless students over the years with great success.
Beginner Lessons
Beginner lessons are structured to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental musical concepts such as notation, rhythm, time signatures, and more. Simultaneously, these lessons emphasise proper posture, hand shape, sitting at the piano. Conducted in a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere, the aim is to help students build their confidence while enhancing their musical abilities.
While regular practice is important, the focus at this stage is on allowing children (or adult beginners) to grow and progress organically. Each student is given ample time to learn at their own pace, fostering a comfortable and supportive learning experience.
Advanced Lessons
Advanced lessons are designed to help intermediate and advanced students refine and develop their technique. This includes an in-depth exploration of touch (using the body-mind effectively and strategically at the piano), finger dexterity, sight-reading, theory and live performance skills. It is essential for students at this level to approach their lessons and weekly practice with commitment to reach their objectives.
