Over the past 12 years that has grown to a permanent music school with 4 teaching rooms, a team of 8 teachers and more than 200 pupils, most of whom are learning in shared and group lessons.
Despite all these changes, the core aim remains the same; Making Music is Best Done with Friends! 😊

Pupil Spotlight: Bobbi Sheehan! 💡🎹
Bobbi started learning the piano with Primo a number of years ago, took a break and then resumed lessons again in September last year. In this short amount of time she has managed to learn all of her Grade 4 pieces and technical work, used piano as her as her skill for her Bronze Duke Of Edinburgh Award and delivered an excellent performance of 'Time Keeper's Lament' in our most recent piano recital in March.
We wanted to highlight Bobbi as she has shown fantastic dedication and determination to learning and her confidence has grown massively. You will see her in conversation with Primo Teacher Anna Williams.
At Primo Piano we support many skills sections of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards. Learning the piano is an invaluable skill that requires a level of dedication, commitment and many transferable life skills.
Well done Bobbi! Good luck for the exam 🎹🎵
