Personalised Music Lessons for Every Student
L.S. Music Studio offers individualised music lessons designed around the student’s current ability, interests and goals. Rather than following exactly the same approach for every student, lessons are adapted according to their age, experience, learning style and musical direction.
​
Whether the goal is to build a strong foundation, improve technique, prepare for examinations, develop performance confidence or simply enjoy learning music, each lesson is planned with the student’s individual progress in mind.
Lessons we offer
Pop Vocal (60 min)
Build a strong, healthy and expressive singing voice while developing confidence, musicality and performance skills through contemporary songs you genuinely enjoy.
Group Pop Vocal (60 min)
A small and supportive singing class with a maximum of three students. Students learn together in carefully matched groups based on age, ability, personality and musical goals.
Classical Piano (60 min)
Develop a strong technical and musical foundation through structured classical piano training, with lessons suitable for students working towards ABRSM Grades 1–8 or learning for personal enjoyment.
Vocal and Piano Combo (60 min)
A personalised combination of singing and pop piano in one lesson. Build skills in both areas, with the option to work towards singing and playing at the same time.
Pop Vocal
Pop vocal lessons are designed to help students develop a healthy, confident and expressive singing voice while learning music that feels relevant and enjoyable to them.
What Lessons Cover
Lessons cover much more than simply singing through a song. Students work on pitch accuracy, breathing and breath support, vocal placement, resonance, projection, vocal range, register transitions, diction, articulation, rhythm, phrasing and healthy vocal technique. As their technique develops, we also explore dynamics, tone, emotional expression and the storytelling behind each song so that students learn not just how to sing the notes, but how to communicate the meaning of the music.
Songs
Songs are selected according to each student’s age, ability, vocal development and interests. We typically spend around two to three weeks working on each song rather than rushing through a large number of songs. This gives students enough time to properly understand the music, develop their technique, work on challenging sections and eventually perform the song with greater confidence and independence.
Performance Confidence
Confidence is the cornerstone of a great performance. We build your independence and stage presence, ensuring you feel prepared and supported when performing in front of others.
Performance Opportunities
For students who enjoy performing, lessons can also be directed towards performance opportunities. Students may work towards studio showcases, recitals, external music events, competitions and other suitable performance opportunities that arise.
​
Performance preparation can include more than simply learning the song. Students learn how to manage nerves, project their voice, connect with an audience, use appropriate stage presence and confidently present themselves as performers.
​
For students who prefer to learn simply as a hobby, improve their singing for personal enjoyment, prepare a song for a special occasion, or build confidence in their everyday lives, lessons can be completely goal-oriented without examination or performance requirements.
​
Every student’s musical journey can look different.
Â
LCM Examination
Students who would like a more structured goal can prepare for the LCM Popular Music Vocals examinations from Grade 1 through Grade 8.
Exam preparation can be incorporated into regular lessons and is personalised according to the student’s current level and goals. Alongside repertoire, students can develop the technical, musical and performance skills needed for their chosen grade.
​
This can include vocal technique, pitch and rhythm accuracy, musical interpretation, stylistic awareness, repertoire preparation, performance confidence and the ability to communicate effectively through a song.
​
Examinations are completely optional. Students do not need to take an exam to benefit from structured vocal training.
Â
Group Pop Vocal
Group Pop Vocal lessons are designed to make singing a social, encouraging and collaborative experience while still giving each student meaningful individual attention.
​
Each group has a maximum of three students. Groups are intentionally kept small so that every student has enough time to sing, receive feedback and actively participate in the lesson.
​
Students are not placed into groups simply based on availability. Group combinations are very carefully considered to make sure that students are well matched in terms of age, vocal ability, experience, personality and learning goals.
​
The aim is to create a group where students feel comfortable with one another, support each other and can grow together without feeling intimidated or left behind.
​
Students may learn songs together, practise harmonies, develop rhythm and musicality, explore different vocal techniques and take turns receiving individual feedback. Learning alongside others can also help students become more comfortable singing in front of people, listening to other voices and responding musically as part of an ensemble.
Â
Songs and Progress
Exams, Performances or Hobby
Groups typically work on a song for around two to three weeks, depending on the difficulty of the repertoire and the students’ progress.
​
Rather than rushing through many songs, the goal is to give students enough time to understand the music, develop the necessary vocal skills and feel confident with what they are singing.
​
Songs are selected with consideration for the group’s age, ability and interests.
Â
Group students can participate simply for enjoyment, confidence and musical development, or they can work towards suitable performance opportunities such as studio showcases, recitals, external events and competitions.
​
Students who are interested in examinations can also be guided towards appropriate LCM Popular Music Vocals preparation where suitable. Examination and performance goals will always be considered alongside the needs and level of the group.
​
For students who are nervous about singing alone, group lessons can also provide a gentle way to become more comfortable performing and sharing their voice with others.

Classical Piano
Our piano programme is structured around the ABRSM curriculum, providing a clear path from beginner to advanced mastery. Classical piano lessons focus on developing a strong technical foundation, musical understanding and confident musicianship.
​
Grades 1–3: Foundations
For students in the early stages of their classical piano journey, Grades 1-3 focus on establishing reliable fundamentals. Students develop music reading, rhythm, finger coordination, hand independence, scales and technical exercises while learning pieces that introduce different musical styles and characters.
​
The priority at this stage is building confidence and a strong foundation rather than simply completing grades as quickly as possible.
Â
Students learn to read music, understand rhythm and musical notation, develop finger strength and coordination, improve hand independence and build control over dynamics, articulation and phrasing.
Â
Lessons also place emphasis on musical interpretation, so students learn to understand the character and structure of a piece rather than simply memorising the notes.
​
A strong foundation is especially important for younger students. Rather than rushing through grades, lessons are paced according to the individual student so that technique and musical understanding develop together.
​
Students are encouraged to build good habits from the beginning, giving them a stronger foundation as their repertoire becomes more challenging.
Â
​
Grades 4–5: Mastery
At Grades 4-5, students begin working with more technically and musically demanding repertoire. Lessons develop greater control, independence between the hands, dynamic contrast, articulation, phrasing and musical interpretation.
​
Students are encouraged to become more independent musicians by understanding the structure and musical intention of their repertoire rather than relying entirely on teacher instruction.
Â
Grades 6–8: Advanced
Grades 6–8 require a higher level of technical control, musical maturity and independence. Students work on more advanced repertoire and develop greater refinement in tone, articulation, phrasing, dynamics, interpretation and performance.
​
At these levels, lessons become increasingly individualised around the student’s strengths and areas for development. Students are guided to develop the discipline, musicianship and confidence required to perform advanced repertoire at a high standard.
Â
Learning Without Examinations
Examinations are optional. Students who do not wish to take ABRSM examinations can still receive structured classical piano training and work towards personal musical goals, repertoire they enjoy, performances or simply becoming a more confident pianist.
Students learn to read music, understand rhythm and musical notation, develop finger strength and coordination, improve hand independence and build control over dynamics, articulation and phrasing.
Â
Lessons also place emphasis on musical interpretation, so students learn to understand the character and structure of a piece rather than simply memorising the notes.
​
A strong foundation is especially important for younger students. Rather than rushing through grades, lessons are paced according to the individual student so that technique and musical understanding develop together.
​
Students are encouraged to build good habits from the beginning, giving them a stronger foundation as their repertoire becomes more challenging.

​
Vocal + Piano Combo
The Vocal + Pop Piano Combo programme is designed for students who want to develop both their singing and piano skills while making the most of a single lesson.
​
A standard 60-minute lesson is divided into approximately 30 minutes of vocal training and 30 minutes of piano. This structure allows students to receive focused instruction in both areas without either skill being overlooked.
The programme can be personalised depending on the student’s goals. Some students may prefer to keep singing and piano completely separate, using one half of the lesson for vocal development and the other half for piano. Others may eventually want to learn how to sing while playing the piano, in which case the lessons can gradually bring both skills together.
​
For students working towards this goal, we can develop the skills step by step. This may include learning the piano accompaniment, becoming comfortable singing the melody independently, coordinating the two parts, maintaining rhythm while singing, and eventually performing the complete song confidently.
Students do not need to be experienced singers or pianists to begin. The programme can be adapted according to their starting level.
Â
What Students Can Work Towards
Combo students can learn popular songs, develop their vocal technique and pop piano skills, prepare for performances and showcases, or simply learn both instruments as a hobby.
​
Where appropriate, students can also work towards structured goals such as LCM Popular Music Vocals examinations, while continuing to develop their piano skills alongside their vocal training.
​
The programme is particularly suitable for students who want to become more versatile musicians and eventually accompany themselves while singing.
Â
More Than Just Learning Songs
At L.S. Music Studio, progress is not measured only by how many songs a student can sing or how quickly they can complete a grade.
​
Lessons are designed to help students become more confident, capable and independent musicians.
Students receive personalised feedback throughout their learning journey, with guidance that can be used outside the studio to support their practice at home. Depending on the lesson and student, this may include written notes, recordings, demonstrations or videos to help students remember what was worked on and practise more effectively between lessons.
​
Most importantly, students are encouraged to understand their own voice and musicality rather than compare themselves to others.
​
Whether a student dreams of performing on stage, wants to prepare for an examination, hopes to accompany themselves on the piano, wants to become more confident singing in front of others, or simply loves music and wants to improve, lessons can be shaped around what they want to achieve.
