You may have played a long time ago and are thinking of starting again. You may be a total novice wanting to learn without judgment from others. Or you may be a parent looking for the best tuition for your child. We welcome students of all ages and levels, from young children to adult beginners for exceptional piano lessons in London.
The Sokol Piano Academy has developed a unique pedagogical approach that allows students to relax, focus, and attain a high level of performance. Our qualified professors have been concert pianists of the highest calibre, having performed in front of large audiences. They have been trained in-house to teach students of all backgrounds, even complete beginners. Their unrivalled experience gives them a rare perspective on how best to learn the piano. We tailor our method to students’ individual needs, enabling them to fulfil their peak potential.
The Sokol Piano Academy shares its musical knowledge in a supportive setting, coaching our pupils to be patient, disciplined, and creative, so they can nurture their own passion for music. We ask new applicants to schedule a trial piano lesson first. This ensures our instruction and philosophy is the right fit for the student.
With studios across London (Kensington, Marylebone, Knightsbridge, Bloomsbury, Barnes, Edgware Road & Balham), the Sokol Piano Academy prides itself in providing the most innovative and engaging piano lessons London has to offer. Assisted by our tutors, our award-winning piano professors teach an exclusive method proven to deliver outstanding results. We have taught celebrities including Ryan Gosling (for his role in La La Land), Simon Pegg, and Lenny Henry.
After 20 years of observation, analysis, and experimentation, Georges Sokol has refined a pioneering method by harnessing three areas of expertise:
- Biomechanics – reducing as much physical tension as possible for optimum fluency
- Experience – taught over 500 students in his career
- Psychology of piano performance – acquired from being a professional concert pianist whose videos have attracted 100 million views on YouTube

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE SOKOL PIANO ACADEMY
Choosing the right piano teacher is likely to be the most important factor in determining your success. When you are learning the piano for the first time or after a long break, you need expert guidance from a piano teacher who understands your individual learning process.
All London piano teachers at the Sokol Piano Academy have undergone substantial training in piano performance and pedagogy. They are highly qualified and experienced. Our students reach an impressive level in a relatively short period. This is due to our unique methodology which greatly facilitates loose arms and wrists with precise application of finger pressure, emphasis on understanding music theory, rather than memorising it, and motivating students in a way that makes them want to practise more on their own.
Piano lessons should be enjoyable, and forming good habits from the start is essential. We take great care in ensuring our students develop the correct piano technique from the first trial piano lesson. Most learners give up after a few months of piano studies because of poor instruction. Not so at the Sokol Piano Academy.
The student-teacher relationship is crucial. Not only must the personality fit be right, but the teacher must also inspire the student. Both parties should devote the time and effort required for productive development. Piano students are encouraged to practise regularly and effectively at home. This will speed up progress considerably and the ensuing results will instil confidence in the student during piano lessons.
The teacher is initially responsible for selecting appropriate repertoire, although there are exceptions if the student is more advanced and has a particular goal or piece in mind. Whatever musical style you enjoy, rest assured that one of our London piano teachers has the knowledge and experience to assist you.
Wherever you live or work in London piano lessons is an occasion you should look forward to. We have piano studios in Marylebone, Bloomsbury, Knightsbridge, Barnes, Victoria, Balham and Kensington. We also provide online piano lessons and home visits if you prefer having a teacher come to your home for piano lessons. London is a city with many attractions and distractions. Finding your passion and the time to dedicate to it can be difficult. But it is worth it when you see the remarkable results our students accomplish. Furthermore, if you are interested in playing in front of an audience, we can enter you for graded piano exams and also offer you the opportunity to perform in public.
We encourage you to book a trial piano lesson and see how you get on. You may have many questions and your teacher here is always on hand to answer them. There is no monthly or termly financial commitment; we operate on a pay-as-you-go basis. You can check your teacher’s availability and book one or more piano lessons online. As far as we know, we are the only music school providing the convenience of web scheduling.
