Frequently Asked Questions

Can my child learn piano from teachers in India while living in UK?

Yes. Artium's live 1:1 classes make it possible for children in UK to learn from experienced teachers in India. For families living away from India, it is also a way to stay connected to the music and traditions they grew up with.

Is online piano suitable for children in UK?

Yes. Classes are live and personalised rather than pre recorded. The academic team assesses the child's current level during the free trial and recommends a suitable starting point.

What will my child learn in piano classes?

Progressive piano learning covering fundamentals, notation, rhythm, technique, repertoire, sight reading, scales, chords and advanced musicianship.

Can my child learn piano if they are a complete beginner?

Absolutely. Children do not need prior formal training to start. The learning plan is adapted to their age, current ability and pace, so beginners can build their foundations step by step.

How will I know how my child is progressing?

Parents can stay connected to the learning journey through the structured curriculum, assignments, practice activities and teacher feedback. Artium also provides tools that help learners practise between classes and track their progress.

Who leads the Piano course at Artium?

Louiz Banks is the Faculty Head for Piano. The course is designed and curated under this academic leadership, while classes are delivered by Artium's trained teachers.

Does my child need to know how to play piano before starting lessons?

No. Beginners can start from scratch. The programme introduces basics such as posture, hand position, rhythm and notation before gradually moving to more advanced playing.

Do we need a piano at home for my child to take online piano lessons?

Your child will need access to a keyboard or piano for practice between classes. A suitable keyboard can work well for many beginners, and the teacher can guide you on what would be right for your child's level.

How much should my child practise piano between lessons?

A little regular practice goes a long way. The teacher will give your child focused exercises and pieces to practise, based on their age, level and goals.
