Our Mission
At the London Contemporary School of Piano, our mission is to change the way the world teaches and experiences music, making it more accessible to everyone. We believe that the closer we are to music, the better our world becomes. That’s why we are committed to providing world-class Piano Lessons in London and offering online lessons worldwide, ensuring that anyone, regardless of background or musical ability, can develop a deep connection with music through the piano.
The benefits of learning piano go beyond the instrument itself—it’s about unlocking creativity, improving mental well-being, and connecting with others. We believe that the piano is not an instrument reserved for an ivory tower, but one that should be available to anyone, anywhere in the world, both online and offline.
Our Maestro Makers are dedicated to bringing you closer to music, whether you’re a complete beginner, an accomplished amateur, or a professional seeking advanced coaching. Our mission is to inspire and empower through a music education that knows no limits—geographically or creatively.
Our Values
We believe in collaboration between student and teacher to solve challenges together.
We are for the curious, the interested, and those who want to dive deeper into music.
We reject the idea that it’s ever too late to learn; learning doesn’t stop after high school.
We support those who learn on their own path—many great composers defied the status quo.
We reject the notion that progress happens magically without regular practice.
We believe in community and participation—piano is hard enough, why isolate yourself? Music brings people together.
We don’t measure success by exam results or critics’ opinions; we value feedback from real musicians.
We believe in both science and art—music has patterns, harmonies, and techniques that anyone can learn.
We reject the idea that talent is more important than practice and process.
We believe in collaboration—teachers are learners too, and we grow together.
We reject rigid textbook teaching—music is more than “right” or “wrong” notes.
We are for craftsmanship and the deep knowledge behind acoustic instruments, cautious of algorithms replacing that.
We reject the idea that instruments are mere luxury consumer items; they are part of our cultural heritage.
We believe listening is just as important as playing—great musicians are great listeners.
We are for building solid foundations to prepare for successful performances.
We embrace mistakes—whether they’re memory lapses or artistic risks that didn’t work. Mistakes are part of the journey.
We reject the pursuit of perfection as the end goal; the end is always just the beginning of the next challenge.
We are for the journey, not the destination.
We reject over-complicating music with theory that doesn’t serve the music itself.
Finally, we believe in doing the simple things extremely well—that’s 80% of the challenge.
