Whether you’re just setting our on your piano playing journey or are already an advanced player, our teachers will guide you through how to progress and enjoy while you learn. Students can opt to follow a curriculum such as ABRSM’s (benefit from receiving UCAS points from higher grade exams for the support of University applications) at PTM, following graded piano exams up to advanced diploma level.

Alongside this, all students will be provided with a foundation in music theory and piano technique.
Advanced students will receive a thorough grounding in piano technique, an in-depth understanding of their musical specialism as well as mentorship from trained performers.
We also hold student concerts twice a year, which have been very successful, offering students a wonderful opportunity to showcase their progress and gain performance experience.
Our pianists have trained at the Royal Northern College of Music and hold a Master’s degree level (or higher) qualification.

Lessons closely follow the school terms but with slightly fewer weeks a year. This means that when students of school age aren’t at school, they also have a break from their piano lessons. This works out to approximately 38 weeks per year. The term is split up into two half-terms each being around 6 weeks long with a half term break in between. There is of course scope for extra lessons during the holidays should students wish to carry on and this can be arranged with your tutor on a flexible basis. The terms run from;
September – December
January – April
April – July
Students tend to opt for a timeframe that will suit their needs dependent on age and level. As students progress we recommend the longer timeframes but for younger beginners we recommend 30 minute lessons.

Adult piano students can absolutely learn to play piano. As with learning anything as an adult, the key to learning is accepting that it’s ok to make mistakes as a beginner. However, once students transcend the anxieties of not being good from the get-go, there are a number of benefits to beginning your piano studies as an adult. Though it can take more time to absorb information, it is easier to understand and commit to memory complex concepts that children more often than not take much longer to understand.
Begin Today!
Firstly, as with anything, your progress will be impacted on by the amount of effort and commitment you’re willing to put in. Learning piano for many is a life-long dream that they either began as a child and stopped or never had the opportunity to pursue in the first place. Secondly and perhaps most importantly, playing music is hugely rewarding and the piano is perhaps the most versatile instrument through which you can enjoy and learn about the subject. There are seemingly unlimited possibilities available to musicians to get stuck into; from exploring the many genres that exist, to playing your favorite pieces by your favorite composers – so don’t delay and begin exploring today with PTM today!
For children, we recommend that students begin around learning at around the age of 6+. At this age students typically have an easier time of learning and are able to progress in their playing at a steady pace.
Our adults cover all age ranges and with enthusiasm can begin at any age!
