Piano tuition
We are extremely lucky to have Tom Painting, who comes to Rollright twice a week to teach piano. Please see below for a message from Tom.
‘I’m a patient and encouraging teacher, and I tailor my lessons to inspire and develop the children’s own musical interests. The lessons can cover the classics as well as favourite pop songs (George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, etc.) and movie themes (Frozen, Encanto, Harry Potter, etc.).
I prepare students for ABRSM graded exams if this is something the pupil is keen to do. I’m proud to say that my students have a 100% pass rate in these exams, and a higher than average rate of merit and distinction classifications. The piano is an ideal place to start for a young musician, since learning makes it easier to pick up any other orchestral instrument later on because of the notation crossover and theoretical skills developed when learning to play.
Here are the different lesson plans:
- Group of 3, 20 minutes, £4. A good place to start and cover the basics. Playing time is shared and tuition is mostly generalised.
- 1 to 1, 20 minutes, £11. Tuition is specific to the individual’s own understanding and technique with more guided playing time.
- 1 to 1, 30 minutes, £15. The best value for tailored tuition and guided playing time.
The lessons will be once a week during term time and billed half termly (generally ~6 at a time). They will take place on the school site during the school day, so there’s no need to juggle any after school activities or pick-up times. Feedback can be provided weekly via a notebook, and my emails are always open for any questions!
If you would like to register for the lessons please email tom.painting@yahoo.co.uk along with your name, your child’s name and year group, which lesson plan you’re interested in and a contact mobile number. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you!’
