It's time to learn piano!

Don't think you're too old or young to learn! If you're young, you can start with games, activities to develop a musical sense and have fun; if you're older, learning the piano helps keep your mind active and your fingers physically fit!

Maybe you won't be a concert pianist but you can still have loads of fun and feel a real sense of achievement.

End of year concert and tea party

I am delighted that this year we're holding an end of year concert/tea party for all students and their friends and families. The invitation is also extended to those who are thinking of starting to learn the piano and want to see what can be achieved, often in very little time. Many of my students only started learning in September 2010 or even in 2011 and they're all doing so well!

We're going to be asking for donations, firstly to cover the cost of hiring the hall (too many students now to fit in the house!) and to collect to a good cause- Marie Curie Cancer Nurses. There will be lots of scrummy cakes to eat and a chance to have a chat with other students and me so it should be really good fun for all! If you would like to attend please contact me through the usual routes.

The concert is on 17th July at Cam Memorial Hall. For further information please contact me.

News!

What a lot has happened since I last got round to blogging. I've been teaching piano in a group at North Nibley- unfortunately most of the group realised that even as a retired or part time working person, learning piano requires commitment of at least 5-10 minutes a day so only one pupil is left! But5 she is doing amazingly well and I'm so proud of her progress!

I'm booked to do some CPD by going to the ABRSM conference again this year. I'm really looking forward to learning some new ideas and sharing them with others at the conference. I'm also hoping to do some training so I can start teaching jazz piano, something I have always wanted to do, and some training with Trinity Guildhall so students can take their exams as well, knowing that I know exactly what they're looking for!
