All Students preparing for Grade exams are recommended to use the Hofnotes on-line training pages to practise for the aural tests. 

At higher grades  you must be able to discuss with the examiner musical features such as texture, form, style, and period of a piece of music.  My own  web pages to help with these parts of the test at Grade 5+ and at GCSE are available here!

 

 

 

 

Welcome to piano4t                                                                 

The purpose of these pages is to:

  • provide teaching and learning resources for piano technique and musical literacy

  • provide links to other great websites concerned with music teaching and learning

  • present relevant research on areas of interest, including distributed learning

Pupil concerts

The Pupil's Winter Concert was a great success.  Several students played their own arrangements and compositions, others treated us to Bach, Scott Joplin and Beethoven.  I was very proud of all of the performers!

Spring Term dates

The next half term of lessons will run from Saturday 7th January until Friday 10th February.   There will be no lessons on Saturday January 21st.

Happy New Year!

May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit
