FAQ's

🎹 What is the 80/20 rule in piano?

In piano, this principle suggests that certain exercises matter far more than others for improvement.

These core techniques appear in nearly every song and accelerate your overall learning.

  • Hand coordination exercises transfer to almost every piece you will play later.
  • Scales train finger strength, positioning, and pattern recognition simultaneously.
  • Mastering a handful of chords lets you accompany songs almost immediately.

Working with a tutor ensures you spend your time on what truly accelerates progress.

💰 How much do piano lessons cost in Swords?

Private piano lessons in Swords generally run at €25/h on average.

The final cost depends on the following elements:

  • The student's level, from complete beginner to advanced or exam preparation
  • Instructor credentials, including diplomas, RIAM grades, or concert experience
  • Duration of each session, ranging from half an hour to a full hour
  • Location, including video lessons, home visits, or school-based tuition

Online lessons often cost less and save travel time for busy families.

🎼 What should a beginner learn first on piano?

These basics prevent bad habits and make later progress much smoother.

  • A bench adjusted properly keeps your wrists relaxed and your shoulders down.
  • Hand position involves curved fingers, relaxed thumbs, and consistent fingering patterns.
  • Flashcards and simple exercises reinforce recognition until it becomes automatic.

A qualified teacher guides you through each stage at the right pace.

What can you learn from our tutors? 

With the help of our fantastic tutors and their well-thought-out lessons, you can learn to play the piano from scratch. Many of our tutors are happy to teach beginners who wish to learn how to play. Music theory can be taught as well as scales as well as practice learning songs. 

For anyone interested you can learn more about reading music, performing particular pieces of music or styles and improving other related music skills such as improvised playing and ear training. We have an interesting variety of tutors available who all have their own particular styles and preferences. If it's something that you are interested in, some tutors in Swords are offering lessons to learn particular music styles such as classical, contemporary, jazz and funk.

Exam preparation is a very common reason for wanting the help of a tutor, a reason which our tutors can easily help with. We have tutors who know the structure of classical exams and know the grading structure and how you can improve. We have tutors providing lessons for all levels so if your exams are secondary school related or university related you can still get the help that you seek.   

Getting a tutor for the Leaving Cert 

For those doing music in secondary school and aiming to play the piano for the practical element of the exam, getting some extra preparation and practice will help you in terms of confidence and also in helping you to achieve your best result possible!  

Lessons to help you with the leaving cert could consist of improving your technique and correcting areas of your playing. The grinds don’t necessarily have to focus on your piano playing either. Exercises to practice the aural and theory part of the exam can be done with the help of your tutor so that you can be more prepared for the general music exam itself. 

Are the lessons expensive? 

Our tutors on our platform set their own prices but they are very reasonable ones! The average rate for Sword for an hour-long session is 27 euros and this is a lesson that is just between you and the tutor. Almost none of our tutors do group sessions and so when you take these things into account the prices are more than reasonable!  

Something that you won’t typically see in big music schools or other private tutors is that the first lesson with almost any of our tutors is actually free! Meaning that you can be more confident using our service and getting the help of our teachers as you have the opportunity to sample the teacher’s style of classes and whether or not you think you will like learning how to play with them and practice what you may already know.  

Then if you decide they aren’t for you, you won’t feel like you wasted your money, but we and our tutors are sure that you will be more than happy enough with the service and help that is available for you.  

How can you contact our tutors? 

We have an easy-to-use website that is full of features. If you have any questions for any of our teachers you can easily send a message directly to them by starting the process of booking a class from their profile. All this step is, is a request to get lessons from the teacher that you are interested in.  

There will be an entry box where you can put down what classes you desire and what you want to learn from them. You can also put down any questions that you may have. Most tutors respond within 24 hours and if you click on any profile, you can see that particular tutor’s response time in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
