It’s the Online Academy’s birthday today and a lot has happened since we first launched four years ago! Initially the site contained a few collections of videos and articles based on my eBook series. It has since grown to house almost a thousand videos with contributions from several renowned pianists and pedagogues.

The last year has been particularly busy with the launch of several new initiatives alongside an extensive production schedule. Our online events programme was launched and has proven to be very popular along with our regular “practice clinics”. We also piloted an email course on practising and were delighted to receive a glowing review from International Piano magazine.
Our plans for the year ahead are packed with a busy publishing schedule and many new initiatives to make the site even better than before (click here to find out more about what’s in store!)

Happy Birthday “Online Academy” !! I’ve only been a member since June 2020. I found you on Youtube totally by accident, that lead me to your website. It has been the best investment and experience, adding to my pianistic tool box.
Thank you, Graham for helping with so many weakness in my playing and re-enforcing my stronger skills.
I look forward to learn each time I join your classes. You are amazing. I look forward to all that’s coming up in the upcoming year(s).
Respectfully, Estella
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Estella! 🙂
Happy birthday to you Graham, and all your friends at the Online Academy.
Inspired by your excellent teaching qualities during the annual (albeit this time virtual) Summer School for Pianists I joined the Academy during the summer of 2020.
I consider the Academy an increasingly interesting and excellent resource to inspire and complement my bi-weekly in-line piano lessons.
Wishing you may happy returns. Bob
Thanks so much, Bob! Hope to see you again soon! 🙂
Happy birthday and thank you for your help and support for everyone who loves piano playing and for giving the oppurtunity to learn in depth
Wishing very many happy returns and further growing!
