A piano school your child will love.
So your child wants to learn piano?
DESIGNED WITH #KIDS IN MIND.
We’ve designed piano lessons that fit your child’s personality. They can learn the piano in a way that speaks to them – through creativity, songwriting, and opportunities to explore the music they love best.
Our students have built up the confidence to play in front of others. They’ve sat with a new friend in class and developed leadership skills by teaching one another. They’ve bonded whilst shouting “I DID IT!” countless times. They cheer each other on.
At Mad Hatter Music, the entire reason we exist is so kids just like your 5 to 16yr old can have a place to attend where they feel supported to be their crazy, awesome, unique selves.
What Mad Hatter Music does, changes the whole piano lesson game! My daughter is always encouraged, supported and valued within her group - which is amazing and really shines through! If you are looking at piano lessons for your child, I would highly recommend Mad Hatter Music.

Previously, my son was with a traditional piano teacher. I have to force him to go to piano lessons. After speaking with an educator at Mad Hatter Music, make me realise the importance for a child to have a sense of creativity and enjoy music. When my son joined Mad Hatter Music after few weeks, I do not have to force him anymore. He enjoys playing the piano and looking forward to each lesson. He enjoys the group lesson where he can learn from others and be encouraged… I love how Mad Hatter has open communication and is flexible to chat with the parents. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our Classes
We hear this a lot: “My child used to be into music but now they don’t play the piano much”
If we had a chocolate bar for every child who comes to Mad Hatter Music with this mindset but then falls in love with piano again after trying our lessons out? Well, let’s just say we’d give Willy Wonka a run for his money! We teach piano in groups because it’s much more motivating!
Learn piano with friends. It just makes sense!
Level 1
5-7yrs.
Designed for kids with wiggly feet and big imaginations. Creativity is what we live for! It’s most important that our students are heard and their curiosity is nurtured. This class is all about making real friends and having a good time.
Level 2
8+ yrs beginners
Time to step up your child’s independent learning skills. We challenge them in all the best ways. Oh, and a lot of our ‘Big Kids’ stick around after class to play handball too. After all, they’re friends now!
Level 3
12-16 yrs
Why do our teens love learning? Easy: They come for the connections. The chance to fit in. Homework doesn’t exist here! There are no tough expectations. We value responsibility, free choice and challenges. Your hard working kids will find these piano classes so refreshing.
