About the Course
Diverse and Dynamic Repertoire
Our curriculum includes pieces by composers from over 37 different countries, featuring a mix of classical favourites and contemporary discoveries. Students can explore iconic film scores, popular contemporary tunes, and Baroque to Modern-era options, broadening their musical repertoire and enhancing their performance skills.
Comprehensive Exam Preparation
We train students for both theory and practical exams held during the Winter session in November/December. The syllabus includes practice and performance tips for each piece, information about the composers, and a choice of technical work options. Students can demonstrate their technical skills with traditional scales and arpeggios or through set studies.
Enhanced Learning Tools
Our training includes specimen aural and sight-reading tests, along with a handy list of sight-reading parameters for each grade. The discussion component covers topics specific to piano players, such as techniques and the historical development of the instrument, providing students with a well-rounded musical education.
