The club is now going to be for 1 hour each week (up from 45 minute sessions last year).
Through a mix of games, drills, and matches, participants will enhance their abilities at a pace that suits them. This isn’t Olympic training, but a place where every student can thrive, learn, and enjoy the sport—regardless of their starting point. Tim is dedicated to nurturing each child’s potential, ensuring they stay active, progress steadily, and most importantly, have fun with friends.
Please Note: Each student must bring their own table tennis bat, which will be for their individual use during the sessions.

It’s important to know that bringing music to children’s lives means allowing them to experience the sensitivities of life. And it can help create emotions, like no other activity can produce. Speaking physically, just as the gross motor skills are important to develop through running and jumping activities, the fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination that develop through playing the piano are just as important and could be “more useful” in everyday life. Therefore, if young children have both experiences, the more balanced they will become in life skills, physically and emotionally.
Science tells us that the younger our children start consistently practicing a musical instrument, the earlier their brains engage in what we might think of as an aerobic workout, which leads to better cognitive functions, increased coordination, and eventually better performance in school and other areas of their lives. The challenge is not IF a child should have music lessons at 3 years old, it is IF you can find a qualified teacher and program for that preschool age.
The piano is actually one of the easiest instruments to play as a beginner. That makes it–hands down–the best instrument to begin learning music on. If you want to play another instrument eventually, learn piano first! Other instruments like guitar, trumpet, and violin, take weeks or even months of work just to develop the hand coordination or mouth embouchure. With piano, you can easily play right away just by pressing down a key. Piano is also the easiest instrument for understanding music theory, because scales and intervals are all laid out visually.
KUNSTISTUUDIO DIMAX MTÜ / KRISTIINA GOLIK
is a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons (45min or 30min) to pupils of all levels and all ages 4+. As a pianist with 28 years of teaching experience and over 30 years of playing, she enjoys motivating her pupils with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. The main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the course of learning piano. If the pupil is interested in a more serious approach, there is also possible to guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams. Recently, her pupils have achieved the highest marks in the ABRSM exams as well as prizes in competitions. We also have a class concert for interested students twice per year. At the end of the course our pupils are getting a Certificate.
