Online group method

Lessons take place on Zoom in small groups. The teacher sees and hears each student, and works with them one by one to correct hand position, posture, and reading. Children progress with a method designed to learn note by note and bar by bar.

  • Groups of up to six children, from beginner to advanced
  • Integrated music theory in 30 to 45-minute modules depending on level
  • Materials provided by the school, repertoire adapted to age
  • Enrolment possible throughout the school year

How a lesson works

When a child works with the teacher, they switch on their microphone and play. The others keep their microphones muted, without headphones, quietly practise their own piece and can clearly hear the teacher call them when it is their turn. This organisation encourages focus and individual follow-up.

  • Microphone on only during the child’s turn
  • No headphones required
  • Silent practice while others are playing

Trial lesson for children

Your child joins a real one-hour group lesson, in a class adapted to their age and level. Price: €15. A quote is sent before enrolment.

Request a trial slot Select a country

Fees and enrolment

  • €15 for a one-hour trial lesson
  • €15 per hour of group lesson (final price for the family), including 30 to 45 minutes of music theory depending on the level
  • The regular group lesson price is final for the family in every country; trial lesson terms are separate

Enrolment is possible at any time during the year. Minimum commitment of three consecutive months, then renewal by term until the end of June, with cancellation by simple written request fifteen days before the end of the term.

Required equipment

  • Acoustic piano or 88-key keyboard with touch sensitivity
  • Smartphone, tablet, or computer to film the hands and upper body
  • Stable Internet connection
  • Music stand and practice notebook provided if needed

From your first connection to your first lesson

Individual feedback, followed by time to practise

You do not have to play the same piece or at the same speed as everyone else. The teacher listens to each student in turn, identifies a passage to work on and gives a precise instruction: slow down, isolate a bar, adjust a fingering or check the rhythm. You then practise that instruction while the teacher works with another student.

Keep your microphone muted between turns, without headphones, so you can hear your own piano and the teacher calling you. When it is your turn, unmute and play. This is a live lesson with personal feedback, not a library of recorded tutorials.

Set up your instrument and camera

Prepare a piano or keyboard, a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, and a stable Internet connection. Position the camera so the teacher can see your hands, keyboard and upper body. A stable stand helps keep the view clear. An 88-key instrument is recommended; the preparation guide explains what to bring for a first lesson.

For a child’s first lesson, prepare a blank sheet of paper and coloured pens or pencils. An adult nearby can help with the connection and initial instructions, while leaving the child space to play.

Hear the piano clearly on Zoom

The school’s existing tutorial explains how to enable original sound. Noise reduction can otherwise suppress some of the piano’s sound. Video in French.

Try a real group lesson

The trial takes place within a regular online group lesson. Children discover the keyboard and play their first notes with individual guidance. The current booking pages list the trial at €15. Choose an available slot and check the displayed time zone before confirming.

Schedules in your time zone

The booking calendar displays available trial slots and the selected time zone above the timetable. You can change the time zone if needed. Regular lesson bookings depend on the available sessions, your level and your chosen plan; consult the current schedule rather than assuming that every time is available.
