We strive to help our students make rapid progress, but the time it takes to play a song varies based on several factors:

Practice time – Regular and focused practice significantly speeds up learning.
-
Following our method – Younger children benefit greatly from parental support in following structured lessons.
-
Instrument difficulty – Some instruments, such as the violin, require more time to develop basic skills.
