How much should a young musicians be practising on their new instrument?
We asked some of our SCMT tutors for their opinions… and here they are in brief. Do you agree?
‘Little and often is key and the quicker you implement it, the more they’ll love to play their instrument. Children will soon get bored if they’re not getting better! You don’t want to be paying for someone to repeat what they said the week before, right?’ James
New Piano lesson testimonials!
‘Fantastic tuition and support. Susanna is nothing short of amazing in linking up tutors with students, building a sense of community, keeping everyone up to date with guidance and always encouraging and celebrating the many successes. Sam, our piano teacher for the last 4 years, has seen my daughter through 5 grades, with accolades. It is absolutely not just about the grades and he has encouraged exploration and enjoyment of different musical styles and genres. He is extremely accomplished with a disarmingly light touch that belies the rigour and polish he seeks to instil in his students……..
Listening to music helps children UNDERSTAND music, gain opinions about music, crave more and more music! They’ll discover what they love, what makes their heart sing, what keeps them calm, what inspires them, what intrigues them… and what they aspire to! If children listen to enough different types of music on a regular basis, they will choose to learn an instrument and be motivated to constantly improve. They will work hard to imitate those musicians they admire and they’ll also love the connection it brings to everyone at home. Music brings a family together and wraps you all up in its comfort and energy…
We’re been spending some time thinking about how we can help you directly with championing your child as they learn and love their music…
To buy or to hire a musical instrument… that is the question ? ⠀ Frequently parents tell us that they would rather not invest in an instrument for their child before knowing if they’ll commit to their music lessons ?❤️? ⠀ Will they enjoy it? Are they too young? How do you know you’re making… Continue reading To buy or to hire a musical instrument?

Returning to face to face music lessons after the COVID19 lockdown. Are you and your children ready, willing and excited?
Having spoken to many parents over the last few days, it’s become clear that children have as many queries and concerns as they do! Of a different nature though. As parents, we are generally quite good at collating a list of questions, and in response it doesn’t take SCMT long as an organisation to be very specific regarding what is allowed, possible or encouraged…

When to start piano lessons for a child… It’s a question we are asked on a daily basis so we know how confusing the advice can be! Children are so very different and so there isn’t a single answer. However, there are some pointers that should help you decide whether your child is ready.
SCMT has recently recruited some absolutely brilliant new teachers for piano, violin and singing. Featured here is Natalia… a violin and piano teacher with a wealth of experience, inspiration and talent at her finger-tips.
