Keyboard lessons
Our piano and keyboard lessons are taught by Henry Salmon at the Atherstone-on-Stour (AOS) Studio or James Dodd, our Oxfordshire tutor at our Fritwell Studio. All keyboard lessons are one-to-one and parents of younger students are welcome to either sit in (bring ear plugs), relax in the waiting room or come back and collect at the end of the lesson… if you are one of our older students, please don't feel it is necessary to bring a parent!!
We have keyboards available to use or you can bring your own if it is portable. The prices include the use of instruments.
We are developing own carefully developed course and award scheme where students can take bronze, silver and gold awards in line with the drum, guitar, bass and music technology courses already on offer. Or you can choose to follow the Rockschool syllabus, which The Musical Box highly recommends, if you're after qualifications… exams are not compulsory!
Some of the things we can cover in piano and keyboard lessons:
- Posture and technique
- Learning both solo and accompaniment pieces in various musical styles
- Technical stuff like scales, chord progressions, theory and reading
- Song / Composition coaching
- Playing in a band
- Effective use and playing techniques for different keyboard voices
