Learn to Play the Piano Make Music
Piano Lessons and Music Theory Teacher in East Ham, London SW6 by Kris Bell
UK Piano Page
I studied at Oxford University, the Guildhall School of Music&Drama and at the National Opera Studio and am a British-born classical pianist and conductor with 20 years of experience as a performer and teacher at the highest level. I have worked as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist with many of the major British opera companies and internationally. I have always enjoyed teaching and coaching alongside my activities as a performing musician and have a studio with superb grand piano in the heart of Fulham, London SW6.
I have 20 years experience teaching all levels and ages from beginners to professionals, adults and children. I have run a private teaching practice in London and taught at several London schools and colleges including: Guildhall School of Music&Drama, Morley College, King's College School, Wimbledon, the Lady Eleanor Holles School and Queen's Gate School. I am CRB checked. I have also coached on the young artists' programme at the Royal Opera House and for the International Vocal Arts Institute.
It is my aim to inspire and draw out the best in all of my students, according to each one's strengths and abilities. I have myself been taught by some of the world's finest musicians and pianists and try to pass on my knowledge and experience, as I can. Happy to explore a range of styles from classical to jazz and popular, my approach is disciplined but friendly. All aspects of learning music (technique, theory, style and interpretation) are explored in the lesson and come together to create ever-improving standards of performance.

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.
