Learning from home

Learn online with clear guidance and feedback

Students in Sri Lanka and overseas can explore piano, theory, singing, composition, production and relevant exam support. The right subject and format depend on the student's age, experience, goals and setup.

A setup that lets you take part

  • A stable internet connection, quiet space and a device with clear sound and video.
  • A camera view that lets Hashini see the student and, for piano, the hands and keyboard.
  • Access to the instrument needed for the subject and suitable materials for practice between lessons.

Show your work and use the feedback

  • Play, sing or show your notation so Hashini can hear or see the work you are studying.
  • Discuss the idea, try a manageable task and apply teacher feedback during the lesson.
  • Production lessons can use screen sharing where useful. Practice targets and supporting materials are chosen where relevant.

Agree a time that works

  • Tell Hashini your available days and your own time zone when you enquire.
  • Timetable times on this site use Asia/Colombo (Sri Lanka). Confirm the equivalent local time before booking.
  • In-person lessons in Kandy are an alternative where the subject and schedule suit you.

Plan your online lessons

Share your preferred teaching language, current setup and learning goals. Hashini will discuss suitable lesson times, fees and payment arrangements before you book.

The Foundation-First Method

Read → Understand → Play → Create

Online lessons follow the same step-by-step approach. Start at your current level, learn at your own pace and get help with the topics you need now.

  1. 1

    Read

    Follow the score, exercise or project being shared in the lesson.

  2. 2

    Understand

    Discuss the musical idea and ask questions about anything that is unclear.

  3. 3

    Play

    Play, sing or demonstrate the work so the teacher can listen and give feedback.

  4. 4

    Create

    Apply the idea in a suitable musical task, then agree what to practise before the next session.

Teaching, guidance and review

Your first month: a clear start and a review

A clear plan for what Hashini provides, with the work chosen for your starting point.

  1. 1

    Review your starting point

    In early lessons, Hashini looks at your experience, current work and learning needs so the teaching starts at a suitable level.

  2. 2

    Choose a manageable focus

    Hashini chooses suitable foundation work and a learning focus that fits your starting point and goals.

  3. 3

    Know what to practise

    You receive clear practice tasks based on the work covered in each lesson. Previous work is revisited during lessons, with feedback to guide the next task.

  4. 4

    Review after four lessons

    After four lessons, Hashini reviews the work with you during booked teaching time and explains what to continue, revisit or work on next.

Guidance and the four-lesson review take place within booked lessons. The work and pace depend on the student; four lessons do not promise a particular musical standard, exam readiness or an examination result.

Work chosen for online lessons

Check the connection, sound and camera view, then discuss the student's experience and learning goals.

Begin suitable subject work and adjust the setup if the teacher needs to see or hear something more clearly.

Parents may receive practice guidance and setup advice so the online lesson remains practical.

Know what to practise at home

Practice guidance means clear tasks based on the work covered in lessons, with progress reviewed during booked teaching time.

A parent can ask the student to show the task, help make time for practice and encourage a careful attempt. You do not need to read music or correct the playing yourself.

Illustrative beginner practice task: clap a steady rhythm

For a beginner who has covered crotchets (one-beat notes) and minims (two-beat notes) in a lesson:

  1. Count four steady beats aloud: 1, 2, 3, 4.
  2. Clap one crotchet on beat 1, one on beat 2, then a minim on beat 3. Keep counting through beat 4 while the minim lasts.
  3. Try the pattern again at a comfortable, steady pace. Note where the counting becomes difficult so you can revisit it in the next lesson.

This is an example, not an assignment for every student. Actual tasks, repetitions and practice duration depend on age, subject, starting point and the work covered in lessons.

Supporting materials are chosen for the student's current needs. Not every lesson or programme includes every type of resource. External examination fees and any separately charged materials are discussed separately.

You can message Hashini to clarify assigned work or discuss lesson arrangements. Teaching and practice review take place during booked lessons, with replies fitted around her teaching schedule. Messaging does not include unlimited support, additional private teaching or a guaranteed reply time.

Lesson formats

  • Online piano, theory, singing and composition lessons
  • Screen-sharing support for production where useful
  • Live demonstration, guided practice and personal feedback
  • In-person alternatives in Kandy where scheduling allows

Personal guidance

The lesson remains structured and personal even when it happens online; the format changes, not the teaching standard.
