Piano Lesson Pedagogy

Rock Pop Piano Lessons, Classical Piano Lessons, Jazz Piano Lessons and piano improvisation lessons (from Renaissance, through classical partimenti, to rock-pop) bespoke to your learning style. These musical piano lessons fuse different skills with a “Sound to Symbol” methodology: First, learn to play (“doing”). Second, reveal the theory previously assimilated subconsciously (understanding). Develop a depth of musicianship not found in other teaching methodologies. Certification is available for courses.

Aural Lessons, Musicianship Lessons Solfege & Kodaly

Musicianship and aural teaching is Kodaly inspired. Solfege is used extensively via workshops for schools, diploma students, private pupils and the Royal College of Organists aural training. Advanced aural training lessons are effective through higher diploma levels. Kodaly derived methodology enhances the ‘inner ear’ and sight-singing.
