If you live in Welwyn Garden City and are thinking about piano lessons — whether for your child or for yourself — you’re in exactly the right place.

At Handside Music, we specialise in helping children and adults discover the joy of music through clear, structured teaching and genuine encouragement.

This guide explains what to look for in a piano teacher, how much lessons typically cost in the local area, and what makes our approach different. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to the piano after a break, our aim is simple: to make learning enjoyable and rewarding from the very first note.

What Makes a Great Piano Teacher?

A great piano teacher does much more than show which notes to play. The best teachers help students build confidence, focus, and a love of music that lasts a lifetime.

At Handside Music, we believe that lessons should combine fun, structure, and visible progress. For younger children, that means short, focused activities that spark curiosity and build solid technique. For older students and adults, it means clear goals — whether you’re preparing for ABRSM exams, learning to accompany yourself while singing, or simply playing for pleasure.

Because every student learns differently, we adapt our methods to suit each personality. Some children respond best to games and small practice rewards; others thrive on the challenge of learning pieces they recognise. What matters most is that each lesson feels achievable and enjoyable — progress comes naturally when motivation stays high.
