Adult-education platforms price piano at £40 an hour, with a discount if you commit to a term.
Think like an investor instead. Fund a child’s lessons from age six — capital outlay, roughly £16,000 — and once the asset matures, request lessons back at the family rate of zero. Returns begin in year nine, subject to the instructor’s homework, mood, and a 100% surcharge payable in lifts to rehearsal. Compound interest, but it practises scales.
