Which music school in Macau? What to check at a trial lesson
Before searching for the 'best' piano school in Macau, prepare your trial-lesson questions: teacher credentials, syllabus, rescheduling, exams and performances.

In one sentence: Don't compare fees alone — at the trial lesson check teacher credentials, a graded syllabus, the rescheduling policy, and exam and performance opportunities. KARON Education (founded in Macau in 2017) runs one syllabus across Rua da Barca, Fai Chi Kei and Rua do Campo, with one-to-one instrument lessons and ABRSM, Rockschool and Central Conservatory exams.

At the trial
- Does the teacher assess level and interests first?
- Does your child want to come back?
- Is the plan clear — what's next and when is the first exam?
- Is the quote clear, including books and exam fees?
