East London Piano was created in 2011 out of need for high quality private music education in East London. We are now in our fifth year of successful operation and we boast an outstanding track record in graded exams as well as many student awards in local competitions and festivals. We really are the top piano centre in East London for children as well as adults!
We have 2 studios in Hackney and we aim to provide tailored piano lessons to meet your level of aptitude/skills. We offer amongst other things: personalised study pathways, free online learning resources, twice-yearly student concerts, masterclasses with international concert artists, recital outings and an annual scholarship for an outstanding young musician.
Our tutors are experienced, talented musicians who have all trained in the best schools in the UK and abroad; all of them remain active on the concert scene, performing around the country and internationally.
We have welcomed over 400 students through the years at our studios and have taught a number of celebrity students too: Little Boots, FKA Twigs, members of We Have Band and Spector and many others!
You can read more about our tutors in the relevant page. Please feel free to email/call us to enquire about booking a lesson!

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
