What our students say about piano lessons.
Student happiness has always been central to Benana. These are experiences shared by students and parents who have learned piano with us.
"Fantastic, as an adult learner I feel I’ve improved immensely from calming teaching and patience in my musical journey."Paul
"My 8-year-old daughter has been having piano lessons with Lily for a few months now and is really enjoying them. Lily is so calm, friendly and patient. Most of all, she makes the lessons fun; they are always giggling, and my daughter is buzzing to practise what she’s learnt when she leaves."Rachel
"Anna is a wonderfully patient teacher, always brings out the best in every lesson however low my motivation may be. Really enjoy weekly lessons, she can hit just the right balance so nurtures both sense of achievement and challenge. Great support too if ever get stuck on a piece or need to reschedule. Definitely recommend."Claire
"My daughter loves going each week to learn the piano and her confidence is booming. I highly recommend; we’re so impressed with her progression in such a short time. Thank you."Catalina
"My son enjoys spending his Sundays learning piano and guitar. He is 5 and full of energy; however, they keep my son focused on improving his music skills. BenAna is a fantastic music school, and we are super lucky to have found them."Tiff
"My son loves piano, but we could never find a teacher to suit his style of learning. The school lessons and rigid textbook style were not suitable for him at all. He only wanted to learn his favourite songs. Then we looked up BenAna Studio and dragged him along to do a trial lesson. His attitude to music lessons soon changed. They met my son’s needs perfectly. I have nothing but praise for their lessons."Saiko
"They make the lessons so much fun! My boys absolutely love it. My children seem really relaxed and happy with the lessons. There is plenty of variety, the children play songs they know and like. They totally personalise the lessons to suit each child and their ability. They are really knowledgeable, professional and passionate about music! I totally recommend this dream team! They are fantastic value and worth every penny!"Nadia
