Hi Guys! Thanks for all your responses. I'd like to think I'm getting near the mark on most of them, although I'd need to check with my pupils as to just what they think of my sense of humour http://www.whiskybembel.de/A/4.gif I have been known to excuse myself from a lesson on a pretext so that I c...

Hi Dave It is actually possible to buy an ABRSM book of specimen aural tests for grades 1-5 so that you can have a look at exactly what is required for each grade. It might make it seem a little less daunting than just reading the syllabus in black and white! You should be able to get it from most g...

I will certainly go have a look! The thing to bear in mind at whatever level you play is that certain bad habits will definitely hamper your progress and therefore ulitmately frustrate you later on. What might seem easier now will almost certainly end up causing you difficulties later and then you'l...

Tell me what you want, what you really really want?
Evening all! A thought has just occurred to me and I thought I'd ask you all your valued opinions. Having read about what we're all looking for in our pianos, tuners and retailers, what about teachers? What do you look for in a piano teacher? What do we get right, what do we get wrong? I'd love to k...

Hi Jabarr How long have you been playing and at what level do you play? What concerns me most about your fingering is the amount of tension these sorts of stretches will be subjecting your hands to. It's difficult to tell without seeing your hands on the keyboard, but I suspect you would be better w...

Encouraging them to play duets might help, not only with you but with each other. How about an end of term recital so they have something to aim for and the motivation of wanting to perform their best? There is a wealth of jazz and blues music available for the age group you describe. If you have a ...

For what it's worth, I bought a Roland F90 to practice on when the kids are asleep, having played every digital I could get my hands on. For me, it was the closest to an accoustic piano I could find in terms of touch, response and sound, although it still has something intangible missing in it. I pu...
