Online Piano Festival
Join us for an online piano festival where you can play your pieces on Zoom and receive verbal feedback, an e-certificate and a medal. We will also award one Trophy per class. Medals and trophies are available for collection from us in SE22 after the event. Open to all young pianists, not just SE22 Piano School students.

Entry to the competition is by a minimum £10 donation per pianist. Register and donate on Eventbrite. We have been fundraising during lockdown for a children’s Youth Club in Nunhead called Westminster House and have raised over £600 so far since the end of March. Your participation in this event will help us boost this total even further. The Youth Club are providing weekly free meals and a foodbank for the vulnerable young people that use the club.

ENTRIES HAVE NOW CLOSED BUT YOU CAN ENTER THE EVENT IN AUGUST. http://www.se22piano.co.uk/2nd-online-piano-festival-tuesday-august-11th-4pm/

1-to-1 Music Scholarship and MAT Tutoring During COVID-19

Please note that due to UK schools currently being closed due to COVID-19, we are only able to offer 1-to-1 tutoring online. We are using a free video conferencing software called Zoom to administer online tutoring. We have used this method for several years as we are based in South London but have tutored children from different cities in the UK without them needing to travel a long distance to visit us. If you would like to book an online session, please see below.

These sessions are open to all students, not just our piano students. We have been successfully preparing musicians for scholarships for over a decade. Our head teacher publishes articles in Music Teacher magazine about the scholarship process each year and our team of teachers enrol new students each year specifically for Music Scholarship preparation as their own music teacher does not offer this service.

We are just adding new dates for 1-to-1 tutoring during the Easter Break and Summer Term that will appear online shortly. Please follow our Eventbrite page for latest information and to book the sessions directly when we release spaces. https://www.eventbrite.com/o/se22-piano-school-16475016451

Please note we do not offer phone or email consultations or support but we will answer all your questions about the scholarship process in the 60 minute lesson.
