In piano lessons at HCM, you’ll learn songs from a broad range of musical genres, such as pop, soul and rock, and will cover techniques including chord progressions, arpeggios and improvisation.

In addition to weekly music lessons, HCM pianists and keyboard players are encouraged to take part in our end of term gigs and showcases. This helps students gain experience in playing live and in front of an audience, as well as giving useful experience and a new found confidence.
We know you’re keen to see yourself improve as much as we are, so we offer our students RSL graded instrument exams. Our lessons follow the RSL graded syllabus for piano from Debut to Grade 8, and teenage students can link our graded lessons with other activities, such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme or music at GCSE level.
