Here’s the room I teach the piano in.
The piano room is colourful with the bright and happy sound of the Yamaha acoustic piano. There are some presents from pupils on top of the piano.
There’s also a very comfortable chair for parents or guests to relax and listen, and just sometimes … there’s a dog or cat sitting in the corner!
Normally I teach in slots of 30 minutes, sometimes in 45 or 60 minute slots if required for higher grades and theory study. The 15 minute slot is a relatively new experiment to start off younger pupils and it has proved to be a great success.
I now have 10 pupils taking lessons in this format and it is very successful and enjoyable for the younger pupil and for myself. All of those taking the shorter lessons played in the concert and played beautifully.
I look forward to teaching many more youngsters in this time slot and giving them a gentle but strong start to their learning journey.
A very lovely set of Piano and Theory results set us up nicely for the Summer Concert. This was on July 6th at St.Augustine’s Church in Edgbaston.
There were 36 players, youngsters mostly but with some very brave adult learners thrown into the mix. Pupils played on their own, in duets and in a trio. Two young ladies played their own compositions which was a real treat.
The half-time refreshments were very welcome and gorgeously provided by parents as is always the case.
Once again the concert was a great success, down to the hard work of all pupils and their willingness to get out there and perform.
A big thanks and congratulations to all those who took part including all the helpers that sold tickets, made tea and cleared plates etc.
