New for 2025!

We are thrilled to welcome Penelope Roskell to lead two new group classes in Healthy Piano Playing.

Piano playing is a physically demanding activity. Just as elite athletes understand and care for their bodies, so should pianists think carefully about their approach to playing and practising. A healthy piano technique not only avoids injury – it also helps to achieve a more beautiful sound, greater freedom of expression and quicker progress, as well as ensuring a life-long enjoyment of music-making.

Penelope will include practical explorations of warming-up/shoulder releasing exercises, sitting posture, healthy practice methods, relaxing breathing, and some practical piano exercises for building a healthy technique.

Places will be limited – make sure to book early as the classes will be very popular.
