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.

My Books:

For much more information about practising repertoire, take a look at my two-book piano course, Play it again: PIANO (Schott). Covering a huge array of styles and genres, 49 progressive pieces from approximately Grade 1 – 8 are featured, with at least two pages of practice tips for every piece.

If you’re thinking about learning to play the piano, my guide-book, So You Want To Play The Piano? (Alfred) is full of useful help and support.

The Faber Music Piano Anthology (Faber) is also a valuable resource for those who desire a collection of standard repertoire from Grades 2 – 8, featuring 78 pieces in total.

My Compositions:

I have written a selection of educational piano music (both solo and duet) and you can hear it and find out much more here: EVC Music Publications.
