It's a new year, and our love for music is stronger than ever here at Viva Piano! We have so much planned for 2026, and we just can't wait to get started.

We've kicked things off in the best possible way—by welcoming a new group of musicians to our Introduction to Piano courses this past Saturday. Week one was FULL of energy, curiosity, and the magic of playing a melody for the very first time. For the next seven weeks, we'll guide our students through some music theory fundamentals. We'll work our way towards two-handed playing, composition, and learning how to accompany ourselves while singing using chords. We can't wait to see how they progress!

What’s Coming Up

We’re hugely excited to bring back Level Up Piano this Spring! This course is designed for kids with some experience or those who have completed our Intro course. Over eight weeks, we’ll introduce more complex theory components, enhance two-handed playing, and develop our composition and improvisational skills.

Additionally, we’re planning some taster workshops and a few special events throughout the year. These are a fantastic way to see what we're all about! You'd be surprised how much children can learn in just one session!

And just between us parents and teachers…we’re working behind the scenes on some new digital learning resources to support students at home. Think engaging, easy-to-use tools that help reinforce what your child learned during our courses. More on that later...👀

Our Goals for 2026

A new year is a perfect time to reset expectations and set some goals. Here’s what we’re focusing on this year:

Progress, Not Perfection

We celebrate effort, consistency, and small wins because that’s how real learning happens. Every step forward is a reason to cheer!

Adapt, Adapt, Adapt

Every child is beautifully unique and will learn and thrive in different ways. They also have different musical tastes! Finding that balance between collaborative learning and individualised support is a challenge we’re tackling head-on.

Keep Learning Fun

Of course, laughter, creativity, and joy belong in every lesson. However, learning an instrument isn't easy. We're here to support every disappointment, exasperated sigh, and even the occasional tear when things don't go as planned.
