Yes — we continue teaching throughout the entire year, including school and public holidays. Our programmes are built on an aggregate of four lessons per calendar month, giving you consistent tuition regardless of the season.

If you are travelling or have irregular availability during holidays, lessons can be arranged around your schedule or taken online so that your progress is not interrupted.

A minimum of 48 hours' notice is required to reschedule a lesson. An alternative time can only be offered if the required notice has been given. Lessons cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice are charged in full, unless there is a genuine emergency.

Having your own instrument is certainly beneficial, as it allows you to practise between lessons and progress more steadily. However, you are welcome to begin without one — many students start this way while getting a feel for the instrument.

Once you are ready, we will gladly advise you on whether to buy or rent, and help you choose an instrument that suits your level, budget and long-term goals.

For beginners, we generally recommend 20–30 minutes of focused practice, 4–5 days per week. Short, regular sessions are far more effective than occasional long ones — consistency builds muscle memory, coordination and confidence.

As you progress and your pieces become more demanding, you may naturally increase your practice time. Your teacher will provide clear guidance on what to work on between lessons to ensure steady and meaningful progress.
