Course content

Our courses are timetabled to maximise contact time with tutors and performance opportunities for all students.

The special features of our courses are the small group sizes and the support and camaraderie of the participants.

Masterclasses

  • There is no extra charge for performing
     

Our tutors

  • You will have a chance to work with each tutor in either a masterclass or a lesson

One-to-one lessons

  • Two individual piano lessons

  • Each lesson is 45 minutes

  • There is no extra charge for lessons
     

Additional options

  • Additional Sunday morning masterclasses

  • Discussion groups on topics of interest for example: performance anxiety, memorising, topics on individual composers, technique clinics

Duets

  • Informal opportunities to play duets and two-piano repertoire with other students

In the masterclasses and lessons you will receive tuition and advice, and have the opportunity to share ideas with your group. Please prepare two to five pieces from your repertoire that you have been working on and wish to improve. You will get the most out of the masterclass sessions if you have the pieces confidently under your fingers. You may like to perform some additional repertoire  in the evening concerts, or you can perform some of the pieces you have been working on in the classes.

These sessions are intended to be a supportive and enjoyable learning experience. There will be no pressure to perform in the concerts if you prefer not to.
