Piano Lessons in Birmingham

These have proved very successful and popular, I currently have 5 young ones having 15 min lessons.

It is proving popularand successful, so successful that one of the 4 year olds who started in January played a duet in the concert with her mum.

The length of time is just enough for them to do some good constructive work on the keyboard plus some beat clapping or developing some listening skills. The children are still fresh at the end of the lesson and seem to be very happy play at home and return the following week.

A quick note on the concert, this took place on August 2nd, it was a great success, with excellent performers and performances, plus the usual gorgeous range of cakes and savouries.

There are many pictures and videos to follow in the next few days.

Just a few details  – there were 26 performers, including a cellist and a singer, we had an audience of around 70-80 people and have managed to raise 120  pounds for charity, I usually send the funds to the WSPCA.

We had exam pieces, famous tunes, duets and trios. There were 8 fantastic adult performers, some of whom were beginners and some more experienced players, the age range was 4 – 75!!!!

The really important effect of the concert is that in the following lessons,  all those who played are full of enthusiasm about the pieces they can learn in the future that they had heard in the concert.

For those who are terrified about the concept of playing in a concert, it is not compulsory, I have another 10 or so pupils who chose not to play, which is absolutely fine:)
