You get much more than piano lessons...
​
At Helsinki Piano Lab, we believe music education is much more than just piano lessons. It is also about belonging to a musical community and discovering a deeper purpose within music.
That’s why we’ve extended our core programs to include collaboration as a key feature of all of our courses, so you get many opportunities to work together with other students and musicians, if you want. It’s why we offer piano parties, teach duets, write songs, accompany dance, and provide opportunities to make musical friends.
Our goal is to offer you a journey of musical fulfilment that can last a lifetime - and you are invited.
​
"I started to learn the piano when I was 12 but packed it in after a year. Fast forward to now I'm 60 and I thought I'd give it another go. I started with Barry just before Xmas and to my surprise I'd learned to play a few Xmas carols. I'd recommend Barry to anyone as he's calm and has loads of patience with his pupils."
...You unlock our top-rated musical community...
​
Students consistently rate us highly on Google and Facebook, as well as in direct feedback. Reasons that come up include:
​
Excellent teaching quality
We work hard to make sure that you get excellent teaching quality in weekly lessons, and your teacher will have a proven record of collaborative learning, in addition to their many other skills. Regardless of how many extra features are added to your experience, we are committed to keeping teaching quality high by investing strongly in our teachers.
Thriving community
In addition to this, you can get a richer musical experience with collaborative piano parties of various themes. You can play duets, jam with chords, accompany other instruments, accompany dance, or even write songs - if you want. Music is more fun when it is shared, and making musical friends is actively encouraged!

"Barry is a really calm, patient and kind teacher."​
"I decided to try a few lessons with Barry even though I’m already in my 40s. It seems that with the right teacher, you can learn anything at any age!
Thank you, Barry, for being such a good and patient teacher!"
Is it too late to learn?
You might be wondering if it's too late to learn piano (spoiler alert: it never is!). We bring years of experience teaching adults a skill that they thought wasn't possible, with suitable repertoire that is both fun and engaging.
​
Adult students generally fall into one of two categories: those who have wanted to learn for a long time but never got round to it, and those who took lessons as a child and want to continue.
​​
​Those starting from the beginning
For those starting from the beginning, there is a fun and challenging repertoire with a robust learning framework that ensures you learn all the skills necessary to advance to the next level.
Paths are highly personalised and completely self-paced, which allows for levels to be learnt proficiently before continuing, leaving no stone unturned in achieving your full musical potential!
​Those with previous experience
Even if you learned something a long time ago and think you have forgotten everything, we have the right approach to get you back on track so that you can be playing your favourite tunes sooner than you think!
Regardless of your experience, after your first lesson you should have a good idea of where you want to go and how you're going to get there!
