Kids Piano 

 

How are “U Can” piano lessons different and what will my child learn? 

 

At UCan we pride ourselves on creating holistic independent musicians through a fun learning experience! 

We teach in a totally different way from traditional piano lessons. Come and observe one of our lessons.

 

We can teach your child to: play by ear; notate what they hear; transpose; move around the keyboard and play with confidence; read music; play chords; play songs and not just from the books!! 

 

“Did you know that the fundamental approach to instrumental teaching has barely changed in over 150 years? (evidence suggests this approach is ineffective for 92% of learners)”

Class Locations

Classes 

Class sizes are small and last between 40 minutes and 50 minutes. At home, you will need a piano or piano keyboard for your child to practice on. 

 

Practice 

Parents and guardians play a key role in the learning process. Children are expected to practice five minutes everyday with parental supervision. Eventually your child will be able to practice unaided for longer periods.
