Course - Piano Teachers' course

In 2018 an exciting new course for piano teachers was established. Over 35 teachers enrolled on the course from all over the world. The varied programme proved thought-provoking and inspirational. The course is now firmly established as an integral part of the summer school.

We are delighted to announce that The Piano Teachers’ Course UK will be leading the course in 2025.

Full details will be announced shortly.

The Piano Teachers’ Course is led by International Director, Lucinda Mackworth-Young, and Director, Sally Cathcart, and supported by a team of expert Principal Tutors: Ilga Pitkevica, Beate Toyka, Jill Morton and Kris Worsley. Other specialist guest tutors are also engaged when required, including Graham Fitch, founder of Practising the Piano, Andrew Davidson for Dalcroze, Penelope Roskell, author of The Complete Pianist and Chair of EPTA UK and Richard Michael for jazz piano.

It is possible to attend the course as a resident, non-resident, or as a day participant

 

Just to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Piano Teachers course (I was on one week only – would have loved to have stayed for a second week but I couldn’t take another week!).

I got so much out of the classes particularly the Improvising, Technique, dancing and Kodaly, as these touched on things that are pertinent to me at the moment. It was wonderful to get the chance to play for the Minuet in Bethan’s dance class as she demonstrated the steps! Helen R
