William, 34
I was taking the introductory piano lessons with Timothée and I had a great time ! The lessons were very fun, the teacher is very patient and I learnt a lot in only 4 weeks. Thank you !
Eve, 31
I highly recommend Thousand Seasons Studio. Timothee’s approach to the piano is amazing and I’ve progressed more now (as an adult learner) than when I was learning in school. Great location too!
May, 27
The classes are beginner friendly and it was a good few months getting to know the piano and music. I still enjoy every lesson and definitely recommend this for anyone curious about piano!
Anuradha, 44
3 months of piano teaching. A massive recommendation for any adult looking for a new way to learn. I also did a month's introduction course prior and also recommend it.
Meet the head of our piano lessons
Timothee is a professional pianist, music producer and music coach with an extensive experience teaching from beginners to semi-professional musicians and artists.
After studying Jazz piano at the music college of Munich with the legendary and worldwide acclaimed jazz pianist Leonid Chizhik, the franco-georgian musician continues his artistic path performing his original music, composing and arranging for other artists, entertaining at private parties, weddings and corporate events in Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
At that time, the 1st prize award winner (“Steinway” and “Felix Mendelssohn” competitions) is hungry to grow and participate to a vast and varied amount of projects from Jazz combos and Big bands, Classical ensembles, Traditional Georgian Choir, Theater shows, Rock-, Latin-, Pop-, Reggae-, Funk-, Hiphop- and Folk- bands.
He discovers the world of music production and starts releasing his own music to receive more than 5millions streams on Spotify until today.
In parallel, Timothee teaches in private and public music schools for 10 years using different teaching approaches before creating a piano method based on the classical notation system, the simplicity of pop songs and the creative spirit of jazz.
The goal is simple: teach music like a foreign language with a structure and concepts that allow all students of any level to make music actively rather than passively.
Make music “actively” rather than “passively”
Music works and can be taught EXACTLY like a language.
In order to speak Chinese, learning poems by heart won’t be enough. Students need to understand the theory behind it and most importantly, they need to get started with actively speaking it.
Replicating pieces with only reading music sheets won’t teach you how to express yourself fully through music.
If you wish to be able to play anything at anytime just for fun without needing to prepare yourself or to remember the pieces you have been learning, you will need much more than that.

Does it feel too hard and complicated?
Well, you’ve done it all already with your native language.
Learning a new language or music takes time, discipline and patience.
It is a life-long commitment.
And in reality you don’t need to become a “professional” musician to enjoy all the benefits of making music.
Are you “talented” enough?
ANYONE has the potential to discover new sensations, to grow as a creative mind, to develop new abilities and to let music flow through them.
Music actually goes deeper than a language.
And no one can guess how you truly feel when YOU listen or make music.
It doesn’t matter because you are doing this for YOURSELF.
DON’T let past experiences scare you and have an impact on your self-confidence
DON’T let others dictate what you shouldn’t do because you aren’t “talented” enough
DON’T compare your learning path with anyone else’s
No matter how much musical “talent” you think you have, musical expression is accessible to all of us.
If everyone can speak a language without becoming a writer, everyone can make music without necessarily becoming a “professional” musician.
What happens after the 4-week intro programme?
If you wish to continue your musical journey, you can then enroll in our 3-month courses.
We take into account students’ pace of learning when forming classes for these courses to create an enjoyable experience for all. This is why a 4-week programme is a great way to start your journey with us.
With practical exercises that involve listening, feeling, analysing and understanding music, students will:
-
Learn the structure of music
-
Work on their ability to let go
-
Understand themselves and how their brain work
-
Enhance their musical ears and senses
-
Play famous pop and jazz songs
-
Create their own music
-
Feel free and connected with the piano
Cost of the 3-month course:
£498 paid in 3 monthly instalments of £166
F.A.Q
Do I need a keyboard?
During the 4 weeks introduction programme, we don’t expect you to have a keyboard at home. You can as well use a phone or a tablet with a piano app to remember what you will learn during the classes. Once you join our 3-month course, we will help you find the right keyboard for you depending on your space, level, and budget.
How much do I need to practise?
While you will experience better results if you practise regularly, we don’t expect you to come always prepared at every lesson. Practicing 10 to 30min per day is ideal for getting the best out of our courses. If you never practise between the lessons, you might not be able to recall every single pieces and exercises but you will still make a modest progress because our method don’t rely only on your muscle memory.
What kind of music will be learned?
Our introductory courses don’t focus on a specific genre, while our methods are influenced by elements of pop, jazz, rock and classical music. Music is not meant to be divided into boxes. Although every genres have their own characteristics, they are only dialects of the same language that is music. They all share the same roots and comply with the same rules.
Will I get personalised feedback?
Our small classes of a maximum of 3 students are assembled with participants who have a similar musical background and pace of learning. While students still have different strengths and weaknesses, the lessons are led and structured to give a personalised experience to each student to help them resolve their difficulties.
What level is required?
Our methods are designed around concepts that you might not have heard of in traditional lessons. Whether you are a beginner or you had several years of lessons based on reading music sheets, anyone is welcome to join a 4-week introduction programme. You can join a “complete beginner” class or a “coming back” class if you had some experience with playing the piano.
I am not sure if this is for me
If you have been playing the piano for many years and you are not sure whether those classes would fit to your skills and ambition, feel free to share with us your musical background and goals to info@thousandseasonsstudio.co.uk We’ll come back to you as soon as possible and advise you on what would work best for you.

Diverse Perspectives from each other’s experience, techniques, musical tastes create a richer and more varied learning environment.
Group performances give the opportunity to students to learn and practise how to play with other musicians.
Observational Learning help students gain insights into their own playing through observing their peers while boostingthe self-confidence of those who show off their work or performance.
