Tuition is given in the necessary skills needed to become a competent pianist and instruction is given in all aspects of technique and interpretation. Pianists work from books and other materials under tutorial guidance, working at a pace that is comfortable for them. Tuition in music theory is given, as this enables pianists to read and write music with fluency, accuracy, familiarity, and with understanding. Examinations are available in both practical and theoretical subjects for those who require them. For pianists, these consist of eight graded exams (Grades 1 - 8) followed by four levels of diploma. All these examinations can be taken under Michael's experienced tutelage. Exams, however, are not compulsory: learning simply for pleasure is always encouraged and supported. Enjoyment of the lessons and learning to play are the most important aspects of piano tuition.

In teaching the piano, all styles are acknowledged, and training is a mixture of learning pieces, practising various aspects of technique, music interpretation, musicianship skills, and learning music theory. Pianists have their lessons using the piano in the tutor's home teaching room.
