As our teaching is innovative, so is our philosophy. We aim to develop:
A love of music and piano playing by ensuring learning 'makes sense' and is presented in bite sized, achievable steps.
Independent learning by making links between all elements of music to enable our students to apply existing knowledge to new situations and pieces.
Breadth and depth of repertoire - by teaching our students many pieces at an appropriate level, ensuring they understand what they are playing and helping them communicate musically.
Where appropriate we use the exam system, but our teaching is not bound by this and passing exams is not our raison d'etre.
