Free tips and guides to help you get the most from your lessons.
Practice tips
Practise a little every day, 10-15 minutes for beginners. Warm up with scales, go slowly on tricky bars, use a metronome, and finish with a piece you enjoy.
ABRSM exams
Each grade has pieces, scales, sight-reading and aural tests. Christine helps you choose a grade and prepare with confidence.
Music theory
Learn the basics at your own pace with the Music Theory Foundations online course.
Choosing a piano
For beginners, an acoustic piano or a digital piano with 88 weighted keys and a sustain pedal works best.
Online lesson set-up
Point your camera at your hands and the keys, use a quiet room, and test your video link before the first lesson.
For parents
Help set a regular practice time, celebrate small wins, and talk to Christine about progress.
