In addition to the individual lessons, many faculty will also give a group workshops for their class of students during the course.

Each teacher will work with their allocated group of students. Some may choose to take a performance class, others may work on specific areas of playing such as pedalling, memorisation, practice techniques, performance anxiety etc.

NEW in 2026

● Daily Drop-In: Scales & Exercises – No preparation needed.  These relaxed sessions are a great way to build technique, boost confidence, and pick up fresh ideas from faculty and fellow pianists. Whether you’re warming up or winding down, it’s a supportive space to keep your fingers moving and your musicianship growing.

● Daily Duet Workshop – Come and explore the joy of ensemble playing. Whether you bring a prepared duet or dive into something new at sight, it’s all about sharing music and having fun together at the piano.

There are also the popular daily  ‘drop in’ practise and performance workshops –  another opportunity for anyone who would like further guidance outside of their lessons. A chance to get help with a bar or a phrase in the practise clinic or to perform a short piece ahead of a recital in the performance class.

Participants on the adult amateur course will take part in daily workshops – a chance to play to each other in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Junior Course participants will also receive daily group sessions on both performance and practise.

As with all lessons, observers are very welcome.
