WHAT IS A PIANO?

The piano is a beautiful instrument. It is a keyboard instrument and a string instrument. In a sense it is also a percussion instrument because inside the piano the strings are struck by hammers that move when the keys are pressed.

There is a wide variety of types, sizes and brands of pianos. There are grand pianos, upright pianos and digital pianos. You can buy or rent a piano. You can often also rent a piano from specialist shops, where after a certain period the rent is deducted from the purchase price. Of course, the available budget also plays a role in the choice. Our teachers are happy to help you choose an instrument that suits you perfectly.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

By playing the piano you form an entire orchestra on your own! You not only play a melody but also the accompaniment. You can also make music with others with your piano. For example as accompaniment to another instrument or singer or as part of an ensemble, combo or band.

The piano is a very versatile instrument. You can play almost all styles on it. From classical to jazz, pop, blues, Latin, film music, you name it.
