Starting my boys on piano early was one of the best decisions I've made as a parent. Now that they are 10 and 13, they wouldn't dream of quitting piano because they've grown with it.

I just wanted to email to say how much the kids are enjoying their music lessons this term! The teachers are great. Greta thank you also for taking the time to chat with them on Wednesday - I wish you could have heard their conversation in the car on the way home - it was very grown-up and they kept saying how nice everyone is.
