Little Missenden Festival

“England’s best-kept secret festival”

I would like to recommend that you check out the programme for the Little Missenden festival this year which has five outstanding and different visiting pianists this year. Most concerts take place in the lovely setting of the church of St John the Baptist, Little Missenden, a small Saxon-cum-Norman building with a fine acoustic.

"Theory is cool" pages are growing!

I have produced some web pages to help with the ABRSM Theory tests at Grade 5 and above.
These pages are available at http://www.piano4t.co.uk. Follow the links to the aural pages at “Learning to listen” or to the theory pages at “Theory is cool”

The theory pages are designed to help you to:
x recognise keys and scales,
x create harmonisations of melodies,
x understand rhythm and metre
x access a dictionary of musical ‘jargon’

The aural pages are designed to help you to:x plan your listening, x get more from what you hear, x better understand the music you play x hear great performances of piano repertoire

October workshop

Unfortunately we have had to cancel the ‘Heroes and Legends’ workshop which was planned for the October half term.

We hope to run a similar event in the future, but our other commitments would have prevented us from giving this the preparation time it deserved.

We apologise for any disappointment.
