1-to-1 Music Aptitude Test & Scholarship Online Lessons

We are receiving more enquiries for assistance with the Music Aptitude Tests and Scholarships than we can handle so we have asked local music teacher Curtis to join the team at the SE22 Piano School. Curtis will be offering Zoom lessons during the May/June half-term on Bank Holiday Monday 31st May and June 2nd- 4th. All these dates can be booked on Eventbrite and we cover all UK schools by tailoring the lesson to the exact needs of your particular school. We ask you to specify your musical experience and chosen schools at the time of booking a ticket.

Good news from the SE22 Piano School, May 2021

Lockdown rules are easing and hugs are officially allowed. Who will you be hugging this week? We’ve all had our first Covid vaccine and we are looking forward to getting the whole team together soon for the first time since lockdown started over a year ago!

This morning I received an email with some feedback from a student that I was preparing for Music Scholarship entry to Prendergast and Kingsdale school. The great news is that she has secured a music scholarship to both schools. If you are looking for some help with the Music Aptitude Tests or any advice about the scholarship procedure, please book a lesson with our team. We can’t individually respond to emails looking for advice as we fit these lessons around our weekly teaching commitments but we have made any gaps in our schedule available on Eventbrite for ease of booking. We will also be adding more times to the schedule in the school holidays so Follow the Music Scholarship Ticket Page if you would like to find out about new dates as soon as they released.

We’ve loved seeing all the lockdown puppies coming to lessons. Here’s Junior and Otto outside the piano school.

And the final good news of the week is that I decided to celebrate keeping a business running during a pandemic by purchasing a new piano from Piano Lobby in Sydenham. It arrived today and it looks and sounds wonderful. Our old digital piano is being donated to Westminster House Youth Club in Nunhead.

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

What is the Music Aptitude Test?
What is the Music Aptitude Test?

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.
