Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely! The Dolce Music Institute warmly welcomes you, even if you are a complete beginner. Our courses are open to any adult who wishes to learn a musical instrument, regardless of previous experience. Learning to read music will be an integral part of your learning process.

Your concerns in this regard are completely understandable.

It is not easy to become a student as an adult when there is the fear of being too old, of not meeting expectations, of making mistakes, and of being judged.

Rest assured, none of this is true. There is no age limit to learning a musical instrument; our brains are capable of acquiring new skills throughout our entire lives.

As an adult, you have already developed three essential skills: discipline, focus, and motivation.

You will be amazed at how quickly you progress!

Our teachers are also highly skilled at adapting to your learning style and will help you succeed, regardless of your current perceived talent.

They take your needs, wishes, and personality into account; they are more of a coach than just an ordinary teacher.

You will be surprised by the speed of your progress and the joy you will experience while learning.

So let go of the idea of talent. Simply give it a try, and you will be amazed at how talented you truly are!

An instrument to practise on will be essential.

However, you need not worry, as we can assist you in finding a suitable instrument.

We offer instruments for monthly rental, and if we do not have your specific instrument in stock, we will be happy to help you find a suitable shop where you can purchase one.

You may attend your very first lesson without an instrument.

From the second lesson onwards, however, we recommend having an instrument for private practice.

We can guide and support you in this regard at any time.

Of course, because learning a musical instrument for pleasure is the main mission of the Dolce Music Institute in Berlin.

It is recommended to practise regularly between lessons. Our music teachers provide you with essential guidance for your learning, but the frequency and quality of your practice are crucial to your progress. Your teacher will offer you individual advice and support to ensure that you make the most of your practice time.

That depends on your level. As a beginner, you can start with short daily practice sessions of 15 minutes and quickly increase to 30 minutes, as you will need time to review, practise, and refine what you have learnt in your lessons.

Yes, we offer this option if you are interested. Your teacher will support you in selecting the appropriate examinations or competitions and in preparing for them.

This question cannot be answered in general terms, as your progress depends on your individual abilities, motivation, goals, and the time you have available for practice. However, our experience shows that after just a few lessons you should already be able to play simple pieces for your own enjoyment and fulfilment.

Our courses are designed for ongoing continuation to ensure consistent learning and progress. After a minimum period of two months (8 lessons), however, you have the option to end your course with four teaching weeks’ notice. You may submit this cancellation at any time after the initial two months. Until a cancellation is submitted, the courses will continue seamlessly.

Of course. When you register, you will be asked to indicate your current level of knowledge so that we can assign you the teacher who best matches your expectations.

Naturally, one of our teachers will be delighted to accompany you on your new musical journey.

As we do not follow a set syllabus but prefer adapting to each in order to provide you with the most suitable music education possible, the content of our music lessons depends on your current abilities, what you wish to achieve, and the style of music you are studying.

Our aim is to accommodate everyone, and we understand that certain professions require flexibility. We are committed to finding a suitable solution for you. Please let us know about your variable schedule when registering, and we will do our utmost to make the necessary adjustments. Kindly note, however, that specific scheduling requests may incur additional costs.
