Learn to Play the Piano Make Music
Music Teacher Teaching Piano in Heapey Wheelton, Chorley PR6 by Mrs Janet Wright

With many years of experience in specialist primary classroom music, I am very interested in the varied ways that children and adults learn and access music, and the personal aptitude and interest that they bring to the lesson. I try to make my approach suit the learner as much as possible. My background also includes training in the Kodaly approach which develops the musical ear and aural skills. I am keen for pupils to develop good general musicianship. My pupils work for ABRSM exams if they wish. I aim to agree short and longer term goals with each of my pupils so that our time is focused but also fun and enjoyable.

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.
