Rosie Blackwood - Piano and Flute Teacher Gloucestershire
UK Piano Page
My name is Rosie Blackwood and I have been teaching piano and flute for many years. I am passionate about music and love witnessing the development of individuals into musical beings. I truly believe that everyone has the capacity to learn an instrument and am proud to be in a job where I can facilitate this. I am happy to teach people of all ages and abilities and have helped pupils with their music exams from Prep Test to Grade 8. I teach from my own home in Churchdown, Gloucestershire and also privately within local primary schools.
My preferred exam board is the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) of whom I am a member, and whose exams I encourage and support pupils to take and pass. I am also able to support pupils who chose to take exams using the Trinity Guildhall syllabus if this is their preference. I will also assist pupils in preparing music for school exams and performances or those who are choosing to learn specific pieces. There is never any pressure to take an exam.
I am a member of the Musician's Union and have enhanced DBS and child safeguarding training.
If you would like any more details then please contact me for more information.

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.
