We are currently taking a break over the Festive Season and will resume our various activities in the New Year. Our events programme kicks-off on 21st January with the first workshop of the second part of Adina Mornell’s Secrets of Experts course. This will be followed by an exciting schedule featuring interactive workshops presented by Graham Fitch, William Westney and more!
We also have some major content projects in the pipeline to support you in your pianistic endeavours for 2025! These include a revised collection of Graham Fitch’s perennially popular practice tools, a new course on mastering intermediate piano technique, video lessons for the ABRSM 2025 & 2026 syllabus and many other updates to our repertoire, technique and skills libraries.
In the meantime, we thought we’d leave you with some highlights and links to our most popular content and events from the last year!
