Here are some of our favourite fun duets we recommend learning during the long Summer break to keep motivated until lessons resume again in September. If you are thinking learning the piano and you live in the East Dulwich area do get in touch. We are now offering home visits on Thursdays, contact us for more information. [Get in touch].

  1. Fairyland in Treble

This is a beautiful collection of duets by Nikolas Sideris. Suitable for Grades 2 to 6 approximately. Here is The King and The Dragon. [Order Book]

2. Piano Duets by Rosa Conrad

Suitable for beginner pianists. This gorgeous duet only has 3 notes in it so entirely achievable for our newest and youngest students! [Order Book]

Here’s a slightly harder duet from the same book. This book is from beginner to Grade 1 or 2.

We are offering lessons during the Summer holiday. This can be booked by emailing se22pianoschool@gmail.com. You do not need to be a regular student to book a one-off lesson. As none of our teachers live in the area, they will be travelling to East Dulwich to give you your music lesson. For this reason we do encourage you to book an hour lesson where possible.

More teacher availability coming soon. Please check back after Monday 10 July for updated availability. We are currently focussed on registering everyone for September lessons and then we will update with our availability. You will receive an invoice very soon to be paid by 5pm on Monday 10 July.

We have some special offers this Summer for our students at the SE22 Piano School. Leave us a review on Google or Facebook and you will receive either a free 15-minute phone call or a 30-minute lesson to help you prepare for the Music Aptitude Test. We recommend starting to prepare for this test in Year 4 or 5 onwards. The test takes place in Autumn of Year 6 for your chosen secondary school. Many of our students have Kingsdale at the top of their list as this is very near to us. Haberdashers, Norwood and Prendergast are popular choices too that all use the same test. Here is what we cover in a 1-to-1 lesson:

Speak to your teacher for more information about the Music Aptitude Test in September if you would like to start preparing for a scholarship. Early preparation is advised as the scholarship places are highly competitive.

Many other schools across the UK use these tests and we can tailor the lesson to the exact needs of your chosen school. We also prepare students for private school scholarship to JAGS, Dulwich College, Alleyn’s just to name a few of our local schools in Southwark.
