Workshops & Lessons

Q: How do I book a workshop or lesson?
A: You can book directly through our website, send us an email at preludemusicliverpool@gmail.com, or call us at 07414471585.

Q: Do I need to have my own instrument?
A: We teach piano on instruments provided at the studio. We also have spare guitars available for student use. Woodwind lessons generally require students to have their own instruments due to the risk of contamination on shared mouthpieces, etc. In general, it is always beneficial to have your own instrument to be able to practise on!

Q: What should I bring to a workshop?
A: If your workshop involves an instrument, we recommend bringing your own if possible. For vocal workshops, just bring yourself, a bottle of water, and a notebook if you'd like to take notes!

Q: How long are your lessons and workshops?
A: Private lessons are either 30 minutes or an hour long. Most workshops are a minimum of 90 minutes. Each workshop will state the running time on the website.

A: Yes! We offer a discounted trial lesson for new students to see if our teaching style is a good fit for them.
