Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN PIANO?

The short answer: A lifetime.
Learning the piano is a lifelong journey. However, you can expect to reach a degree of proficiency after about 10 to 15 years of diligent study.

WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?

This is undoubtedly the most popular question, and with good reason. Keeping within your budget is practical.

However, if you are serious about your child’s musical education, you will choose a teacher based on quality, not price. As the foundation stage of piano studies is the most critical, much harm can be done by an inexperienced teacher.

WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO YOU TEACH?

At MG Music School, we specialise in classical piano and recorder. Classical training provides a solid foundation in reading, technique and performance, which enables a student to successfully explore other genres later on.

DO YOU TEACH ON SATURDAYS?

MG Music School is open Monday to Friday. Therefore, there is no need to teach on the weekends.

DO YOU TEACH KEYBOARD?

While the piano and the electronic keyboard have the same set of keys, the approach is vastly different. Piano students are certainly able to apply their skills to keyboard. However, if you specifically require keyboard lessons, it is best to look elsewhere.

DO YOU OFFER HOLIDAY CLASSES?

All students at MG Music School are encouraged to continue their studies through the school holidays by booking holiday lessons. However, these are not available to the general public.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

The studio is situated in Queensburgh, Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal.
