My 8 year old son has been taught the piano by Rosemary for over a year and loves it! We have found Rosemary understanding of the style and pace of music he wishes to play and through her excellent teaching, praising and enthusiasm, we have a son who can't wait for his lessons, sits down regularly to practice without being asked and is progressing brilliantly. I would thoroughly recommend Rosemary to all. Please contact me if you need anything further at mirandacrodrigo@gmail.com

I am delighted to recommend piano teacher Rosemary Kemp. During the last two years of private, one to one tuition, my shy, 8 year old daughter has grown in confidence as she developed a passion for learning to read music and play the piano. Through Rosemary's professional and systematic approach to teaching my daughter has progressed well and looks forward to her lessons each week.

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.
