Piano and keyboard courses for children
At Kids Rock, our piano and keyboard lessons are available to all children who have a vivid interest in piano playing, whether they are absolute beginners, intermediate or advanced pianists. We are proud to work with highly experienced and qualified instructors who have a passion for teaching and an incredible understanding of piano education for children.
By offering your children the ability to attend their piano lessons at Kids Rock, you can be assured that they will benefit from the most excellent instruction and learn all the correct techniques from day one. We always balance our piano lessons equally in between piano pieces, technical exercises and sight-reading as we wish your children to learn all the aspects of piano playing and become brilliant pianists.
In addition to offering a traditional classical piano education, we also teach our pupils the basics of harmony and improvisation, which are essential skills too often neglected by most piano instructors. We wish to start their piano instruction in a manner that allows them to decide later whether they prefer specialising in classical or contemporary jazz piano playing.
At Kids Rock, we believe that encouraging and inspiring our pupils is essential for them to fall in love with music and continue playing the piano in their adulthood. We wish them to have exceptional memories of their piano lessons.
Offer your children the immense opportunity to benefit from fantastic piano lessons
As we run several music academies across the world, we often meet adults and parents who have awful memories of their piano lessons in their youth. It is heartbreaking to hear that they have stopped playing and now regret it due to the strictness of their former instructor and the lack of enthusiasm shown during the lessons.
As we wish to provide your child with the opposite experience, we always ensure that they have an exceptional time and keep playing for the rest of their life.
By taking their piano lessons at Kids Rock, your children will:
Benefit from the advice of an expert who specialises in teaching children
Learn all the correct techniques and develop his or her sense of artistry from day one
Study all the aspects of piano playing in a fantastic atmosphere
Attend both highly educational and enjoyable piano lessons
Will always be thankful to you for offering him or her such an opportunity
At Kids Rock, our piano lessons take place weekly on a set day and time at our gorgeous premises at Gate Avenue, DIFC. We are proud to be able to offer your children the most excellent piano education currently available in Dubai and the UAE.

We do not follow a set syllabus but rather adapt to each of our students as everyone is different and requires special attention.
We require an initial four-month attendance as we believe that it is the minimum amount of time an adult should study at S & C to benefit fully from our excellent piano instruction. After this initial period, you are welcome to continue your piano education on an on-going basis, but lessons are still booked per four months in advance.
Frequently asked questions
You are most welcome to join S & C even if you are an absolute beginner without any prior musical experience. Our piano courses are designed for adults who are brand new to music so no previous knowledge is necessary to join. Learning how to read music notation and theory will be part of your piano course so there is nothing to worry about.
Definitely not. We believe that there is no age limit to learn and enjoy playing the piano for your own pleasure.
Of course! You are most welcome to give it a try and book an introductory lesson to find out if playing the piano is really what you want to do. Be reassured that there is no need to possess any talent to join S & C. We believe that all adults are able to play the piano thanks to the expert guidance of our excellent piano instructors.
You do not need to own a piano to start your piano course as the purchase of the most suitable instrument for you to begin your education can be discussed with your instructor during your first piano lesson. He or she will be able to make a recommendation and advise on the best piano store to visit.
Absolutely! S & C is entirely dedicated to adults who wish to play for their pleasure and enjoyment so you are more than welcome to join.
You definitely need to practice if you intend to make any progress. Attending your piano lessons will offer you the guidance and feedback needed to improve in the right direction but a personal daily practice is necessary to enhance your piano skills.
It all depends on your current pianistic level. As a complete beginner, you can start with 15 minutes each day to get into the habit of practising on a daily basis. It should then increase to 30 minutes quite rapidly as you will need enough time to review and improve the material that has been studied during your piano lessons.
Not at all. All our piano instructors have been selected for their remarkable understanding of adults who play the piano for their own pleasure. They are, therefore, extremely patient, kind and supportive. We can assure you that your instructor will never judge, patronise or criticise you negatively.
Yes, we do offer preparation to the ABRSM grade examinations from grade 1 to grade 8, but sitting the exams is not compulsory.
It is an extremely difficult question to answer as it all depends on your abilities and the exact goal that you have in mind. As per our experience, we can, however, say that you should be able to play some exquisite simple piano pieces after a few lessons only.
The duration of your piano course depends on your personal goal after attending for a minimum of 4 months. Your lessons will then take place on an ongoing basis until you are satisfied with your piano playing or unable to pursue your education.
Of course. If you are a proficient pianist, we would certainly recommend that you inform us prior to the beginning of your course. It should, therefore, be booked with one of our senior piano instructors, who definitely possess the right set of skills and experience to help you improve further.
Absolutely. We know how daunting it can be for a classically trained pianist to step into jazz piano playing and we would be delighted to support you in your endeavour.
We are currently working with four piano instructors who have all been carefully selected by our founder Celine Gaurier-Joubert. They are all exceptional pianists and instructors who have a broad experience in adult piano education and a genuine passion for teaching adult amateur pianists.
As we do not follow a set syllabus but prefer adapting to each in order to provide you with the most suitable piano education possible, the content of our piano lessons depends on your current abilities, wishes and style studied.
At S & C, we understand that it can be difficult for some busy professionals to attend their piano lessons on a set day and time each week. We will be happy to accommodate you but please inform us before signing up as any special request is subject to an extra fee and availability.
