SE22 Piano School ~ East Dulwich
Music Lessons for adults and children in East Dulwich & Music Aptitude Test training
Printed copies of our SE22 Piano School Winter Recital Programme and Yearbook are available to all performers this weekend. You can also see some of the images and read the PDF online. We look forward to seeing you this weekend for our biggest student event of the year!
Earlier in May this year, I was very fortunate to be introduced to up and coming young pianist Emmanuel Vass by my colleague Frances Wilson. Frances had met Manny on his tour for his CD, “From Bach to Bond“. Manny very kindly agreed to perform at the launch event for the London Piano Meetup Group and was so popular that we decided to book him to perform at the South London Concert Series in January. Unsurprisingly, the tickets are nearly sold out for his recital even though we are two months away. Manny is Classic FM’s latest featured artist which is a fantastic achievement for a recent graduate and such a young pianist.
Students age 8+ are invited to come and hear Emmanuel perform in Waterloo on the 27th January. You can book tickets here. Here are some videos of him in action to provide some inspiration! Manny has arranged various Bond themes into this stunning Concert Etude:

This version of Bohemian Rhapsody is brilliant too:

This event is primarily aimed at pianists who have limited or no experience of performing in public. The aim of this workshop is to offer techniques and strategies to overcome stage fright, and to encourage pianists of all levels to play with poise and confidence. We will also discuss stagecraft and how to present a polished, professional, performance. The workshop will include warm up exercises, and a group discussion about the causes of performance anxiety. Suitable for ages 18+.

We ask all participants to bring a very simple piece, or a piece which you know well, of around 1-2 minutes duration to perform to the group after the discussion. Please do not choose the hardest piece that you know. We also ask that you bring a piece that you can play using the score as playing from memory will not be required for this workshop.
Beginners are most welcome and encouraged.
Please note: If you are an advanced pianist with plenty of performing experience, please note that this event is not aimed at you and we ask you to book for an alternative event.
The group size will be only 6 pianists to ensure a small audience.
Afterwards, we will go to Cocoro Restaurant for dinner. Please advise at the time of booking your ticket if you would like to come for dinner as we will need to reserve a table.
Meet at street level outside The Music Studio at 6.55pm.
The event is 1 hour in duration. Observers are welcome but this will be charged at the full rate for performers.
VENUE: The Music Studios, 29 Marylebone Lane, London W1U 2NQ
