3. What kind of lessons are available?
Here’s a general guide:
-
Intermediate Levels (ages 12+) Grade 2/3 – A 30-minute one-to-one lesson is a great place to start.
-
Advanced or older students (ages 12–16) Grade 3/4 – A 40-minute one-to-one lesson is often more suitable.

Adult beginners – Also start with a 40-minute lesson.

Advanced students Grade 4 + – After a couple of terms, a 45 or 60-minute lesson may be best, especially for those preparing for exams.
4. Where can we get an instrument, and how do we know the right size?
Many local music shops offer both sales and rentals. Instruments can also be bought online, depending on budget and quality. Georgina can offer advice on what’s best during the first lesson.
5. Do I need an instrument for my first lesson?
Piano students can use Georgina’s full-sized keyboard during lessons. For other instruments, please bring your own so Georgina can assess if it’s suitable for your learning journey.
6. What if I’m unwell and can’t attend my lesson?
Unfortunately, missed lessons are not rescheduled. However, if you let Georgina know at least 24 hours in advance, your lesson can be moved online so you won’t miss out.
Please refer to your Online Lesson Info Sheet and the Online-Addendum-to-Private-Teaching-Agreement for more details.
