Piano Lessons Brisbane

ABOUT GROUP LESSONS:

Group lessons are especially recommended for beginners and intermediates (though we do enjoy group lessons for advanced students too!).

We teach our group piano lessons on electric pianos using The Buttery Curriculum and Buttery Song Books which ensures consistently fun and exciting lessons while also allowing students to gain strong, in depth knowledge and skills on the piano - from music theory and timing to learning how to play songs from an array of genres including rock, pop, jazz, funk, soul and more. We have you playing to songs you love from the very start, because especially at the start, our main focus is helping you develop a love of this rad instrument!

During group lessons our students also have the chance to develop long lasting friendships with the other students in the group! We not only learn to play the piano, we also learn to jam, play in time together, perform for others, gain important social skills, and more.

THE KARATE BELT SYSTEM:

In the group lesson adventures for students under 15 years old, The Buttery has developed a Karate Belt system for students to adventure through as they progress through the curriculum. When you first sign up, you will receive a white coloured wrist band in your induction pack. When you complete level 1, you will LEVEL UP and receive a yellow wrist band. Level 2 brings a green wristband, and so on until you reach level 9 and receive the almighty black wristband.

ABOUT 1 ON 1 LESSONS:

1 on 1 lessons are especially recommended for advanced students with a focus on a particular genre or musical path, and for those who are overwhelmed by groups.

In 1 on 1 lessons, your Buttery teacher designs a musical journey specific to you and your goals. From theory, chords and rhythms, to writing originals, to learning to improvise, we are here to take you wherever you’re wanting to go. Weekly and fortnightly options available!

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES AT THE BUTTERY:

Alongside music lessons, The Buttery runs a bunch of extra adventures for our rad students such as:

• An epic talent show each year where all students have the chance to perform

• School holiday workshops and band camps.

• Each year we take 4 student bands up to our good friends at Tallowood Studios in Mount Glorious to record an original song they have written in their band sessions

Watch out for information on these awesome opportunities on our website, Facebook, Instagram and emails.
