Many thanks to all those who took part in this weekend’s competition, which was to win one of two copies of Piano Notes published by Rhinegold.

The notes have been written by teachers Fiona Lau, Katharine May, Michael Round, Murray McLachlan and myself. We wrote around 200-350 words on every piece (Grades 1 – 8) on the new ABRSM piano syllabus (2017-18), including all alternative pieces, detailing the most important elements, and advocating various practice tips and performance suggestions.

The winners are…

LIZ DEWHURST and ELAINE BELL

CONGRATULATIONS! Please send your address via the contact page on this blog, and your notes will be on their way.
