Consultations cover: setting a clear learning direction, planning a complete ABRSM grade progression, and professional teaching technique advice for practising piano teachers. Suitable for students, parents, and music educators.

Question 6

Who is the Teacher Development programme for?

The programme is designed for practising piano teachers who wish to raise their professional level and prepare for ABRSM Teaching Diplomas (DipABRSM, LRSM, etc.). One-to-one study sessions are also available for teachers who wish to focus on a specific topic or repertoire.
