Am I too old to learn?

NO!

We have a
friendly learning environment
with a supportive teacher

Even if you've never played before,
you'll soon be enjoying pieces like
Love Me Tender, Blue Suede Shoes,
Ode To Joy, The Sound Of Music,
& many more

Also, older students concentrate 
better and practise more than many
younger students!

Finally, music lessons may help prevent Alzheimer's & Dementia

Several studies have now shown a link between taking
music lessons and a greatly reduced rate of developing dementia.

One study showed a 38% less chance of developing dementia, 
and another showed a 47% lower risk of cognitive decline in people who undertook 
music lessons and other intellectual stimulation.

Don't take our work for it: here are the studies mentioned:

Woodward M et al. Dementia: Can It Be Prevented? 
Alzheimer's Australia Position Paper 6, August 2005

Scarmeas N, Levy G, Tang M-X, Manly J, Stern Y. 
Influence of leisure activity on the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease. 
Neurology 2001;57:2236-42

Wilson R, Mendes de Leon C, Barnes L et al.
Participation in cognitively stimulating activities
and the risk of incident Alzheimer disease.
JAMA 2002;287:742-8

Of course, we have backing CD's and 
MIDI file accompaniments for these courses!
