Learn together. Progress individually.
Unlike traditional group lessons, every student follows a personalised learning plan while benefiting from the motivation of learning alongside others. The teacher circulates continuously, giving each student precise personal corrections throughout the session — every student works on their own piece, at their own level, with their own objectives. Maximum 6 students per class, each with their own keyboard and headphones.
Our programmes
At Ocarina, we don't believe one teaching format suits every learner. That's why we've developed four complementary learning paths, each designed to meet different ages, abilities and educational needs.
Sessions are 1 hour weekly, except the private lesson (45 min).
An early piano awakening program — your child's very first joyful contact with the keyboard, sounds, and music, in a small group.
Hello Piano is designed for toddlers to become familiar with the keyboard, sounds, and their own senses. Children explore the first notions of solfège, discover the notes, sing, and work on rhythm — all through a joyful musical moment in a small group.
Individualised learning in a small-group setting — developed by Ocarina since 2014. Each child progresses at their own pace, builds real confidence, and learns to practise independently.
Location: currently at our Central Mansions campus only. Coming soon at our BKK campus.
Unlike traditional group lessons, every student follows a personalised learning plan while benefiting from the motivation of learning alongside others. The teacher circulates continuously, giving each student precise personal corrections throughout the session — every student works on their own piece, at their own level, with their own objectives. Maximum 6 students per class, each with their own keyboard and headphones. The result is a lesson where every student stays engaged, receives regular individual guidance and progresses at a pace that matches their own development.
Each student plays throughout the entire session — no waiting, no following another student's pace.
Working alongside peers reduces the fear of mistakes, normalises effort, and creates natural emulation.
Students learn to re-read, self-correct, and stabilise their own work — essential for long-term progress.
The core mechanism: corrected repetition. The student plays → the teacher gives a short, precise correction → the student replays immediately → the right gesture settles into muscle memory. Repeated throughout the session, this is what transforms instruction into reflex.
The private lesson remains the ideal choice when a student needs fully dedicated individual attention or is preparing for competitions. For specific learning and attention needs (ADHD, DYS), our dedicated Specialised Music Education Programme (SMEP) offers an adapted curriculum and bespoke scores, taught by a teacher licensed in NMTAP (Neurologic Music Therapy Affiliate Professional).
45 minutes of fully dedicated one-to-one time. The most focused format — ideal for students who want a fully personalised pace, and required for competition preparation.

From our community
Join hundreds of families who have chosen Ocarina since 2014.
After a discouraging start elsewhere, my daughter learned to love the piano again. In her very first lesson she played a whole piece with her teacher. She reads her notes now, so she's never lost practising at home. The joy of playing goes hand in hand with real rigour.
My teenage son actually looks forward to his lesson every week. The small group keeps him motivated, and the teacher gives him real feedback every single time. In one year he's gone from hesitant to playing pieces he's proud of.
I started as a complete beginner at 41. I was nervous, but the atmosphere is warm and the pace is just right for me. Six months in, I'm playing songs I never thought I could. It's the best hour of my week.
