Help your pre-school child learn the piano – first session free!

The Dogs and Birds Piano method has now moved to Bakewell! Founded by Hungarian piano teacher Elza Lusher and her husband Chris, and developed over the last 20 years, we teach children aged 3-5 to play the piano and learn music. We use puppets, coloured tiles and staves, singing, playing, drumming and improvisation to make it engaging and fun.

Group piano sessions are 30 mins for 3-4 years (£5) and 40 mins for 4-5 years old (£6). Come and try us out! Sessions are held at the Medway Centre, Bakewell on Monday afternoons, starting from 15 April. Initially sessions will be from 2:15 pm to 2:45 pm, and 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm.

Message us or email [email protected] to book your spot, before places fill up.

If you think this is for you please get in touch!
