Family lessons

Make music the family thing.

Two or more children learning at once — same morning, same trainer, multi-child discount on every child after the first. Parent-and-child duets, sibling ensembles, home-school families, and households where one morning a week becomes the music morning.

Why this format

What makes it work.

01

Multi-child discount.

The first child pays standard rates; every additional sibling receives our family discount. Set in admin (see your enrolment paperwork for current %).

02

One trip, many lessons.

We schedule siblings back-to-back so the trainer makes one visit (at home in Nairobi) or you make one studio trip. One Saturday morning becomes the music morning.

03

Shared cultural moment.

Music becomes a shared family identity — siblings practise together, perform together, listen to each other. Often more bonding than any single weekly activity.

04

Faster motivation.

Sibling-watching is the most reliable practice nudge there is. Knowing your brother passed Grade 2 motivates you to push for it too. Healthy competition becomes lifelong appreciation.

Who it's for

  • ·Parent-and-child pairs learning together

How it works

The shape of it.

  1. Back-to-back

    Most common — siblings have consecutive 30-min or 60-min slots same morning. Trainer visits once, you organise once.

  2. Parallel sessions

    At our studio, two trainers can teach two siblings simultaneously in different rooms — for older kids whose schedules are tight.

  3. Combined lessons

    Occasional joint lesson where siblings play a duet or ensemble piece together. Magic when it lands; lots of giggling.

  4. Parent-child duets

    A parent learning alongside their child is one of the most rewarding setups we run. We design specific duet repertoire for these pairs.

  5. Family recital

    Every term, families that want to perform a sibling or parent-child piece at the recital are warmly encouraged. These performances always get the loudest applause.

Pricing

First child at standard rate; multi-child discount applied automatically from the second child onward.

Frequently asked

Before you book.

01What is the sibling / multi-child discount?+

The first child pays standard per-session rates. Every additional child in the family receives our admin-managed multi-child discount on their sessions. Current rates shared at enrolment (the discount is set in admin and can change seasonally — ask our team for the live figure).

02Can my children learn different instruments?+

Yes — common in fact. We will match a trainer who can cover both, or pair you with two trainers in adjacent slots. Different instruments add no extra cost beyond the per-child rate.

03Can a parent learn alongside their child?+

Absolutely — and we love when it happens. The parent enrols as a second-family-member at the multi-child rate. Parent-child duet repertoire is a small specialism of our faculty.

04How are family lessons scheduled?+

For at-home (Nairobi), back-to-back is standard so the trainer makes one trip. At our Kikuyu studio you can do parallel (two trainers, two siblings, two rooms) or back-to-back. We work around your morning.

05Do all the children have to come together every time?+

Ideally yes — that is the schedule advantage. If one child is sick, the other can still take their slot. If a parent needs to skip, we offer make-ups within the term.

06Can we do family lessons online?+

Yes — siblings can share an online slot with the trainer, with the parent supervising. Works particularly well for theory and voice; less so for instrumental work where individual feedback matters.

07Family lessons at home in Nairobi — how does it work?+

Trainer visits your home and runs back-to-back sessions with each child. Premium pricing applies to the at-home model (see /at-home-music-lessons), but the multi-child discount stacks on top.

08What if my children are very different levels?+

No problem — each child gets their own lesson plan and grade trajectory. The shared time-slot is the only thing in common. We have families where one child is Grade 6 piano while a younger sibling is Pre-Initial — both progress at their own pace.

One morning, many musicians.

Book your first lesson — your trainer will meet you wherever you are, with a plan tailored to your goals.
