Individual Lessons — Structured, Measurable Progress (45 mins total)

Each lesson combines focused repertoire and technique with musicianship practice so students make steady, assessable progress and feel confident performing.

Our individual lesson format balances concentrated teacher time with group musicianship to deliver both technical skill and musical thinking. Students receive 30 minutes of personalised repertoire and technique work plus 15 minutes of sight-reading and musicianship within a mini-group setting. This hybrid format accelerates skill transfer, keeps lessons social, and fits into busy family schedules.

Faster skill consolidation through mixed teacher & peer activities
Clear progress markers (repertoire, technique, musicianship)
Preparation for recitals and exams available on request

What happens in a 45-minute lesson?

Students spend 30 minutes 1:1 on repertoire, technique, and feedback, followed by 15 minutes of sight-reading and musicianship in a mini-group to reinforce skills and confidence.

Why include group musicianship?

Short, social musicianship time accelerates skill transfer, builds rhythm and reading fluency, and keeps motivation high with peer support.

How do you measure progress?

We set clear markers across repertoire, technique, and musicianship. Families can opt into recitals and graded exams to benchmark achievement.
