Analysis of Google search data reveals that searches for “piano lessons” exploded 212% on the 25th December in the UK, one day after Kate Middleton played piano alongside singer Tom Walker at the ‘Royal Carols: Together at Christmas’ concert on Christmas Eve.

A new finding by international education provider Oxford Royale reveals that searches for “piano lessons” exploded to over three times the average volume, an unprecedented spike in people Googling piano lessons in one day, according to analysis of Google search data.

A spokesperson for Oxford Royale commented on the findings:

“Kate Middleton is among the world’s most powerful trendsetters, and treating fans to a skilled piano performance, where she displayed fantastic prowess on the keys, has sparked a huge rise in people wanting to learn the instrument as well. The Duchess of Cambridge has the enviable ability to take the world by utterly storm with her subtlety and grace, and has certainly proved her former piano teacher, who said she would never be a concert pianist, wrong”
