UK Piano Page
As a piano teacher in Flitwick since the late 1980's, I have successfully taught scores of students individually to pass the Royal Schools of Music Associated Board certificate exams, many with merits and distinctions. I also teach music theory to students taking higher grade Associated Board exams - all have passed, often with merits or distinctions

I have been taught by Kieran for 6 years now. I started at age 15 knowing nothing about music and have since achieved Grades 1,3 and 5 in theory and Grades 1,3,5,6 and 8 in practical examinations. I am now currently working towards a DipABRSM with Kieran and I wouldn’t rather anyone else. Kieran’s teaching style is not only easy to understand but is very effective. A very kind and patient teacher, I don’t believe I would have gotten this far with anyone else. I would 100% recommend for students of any age, Kieran makes learning piano and theory easy and fun!

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
