Added Extras

Every term I like to host a studio concert so that all my students have an opportunity to perform in a relaxed and supportive setting. Often, I choose a fun theme for the concert. Studio Concerts also give students and their families an opportunity to socialise and form friendships. For some concerts, we have a little party afterwards.

All students are invited to participate in the annual Keyboard Sections of the Armidale Eisteddfod. Term 2 includes a special workshop for students who have entered the Eisteddfod. Studio membership includes my attendance and support at any section your child enters in the Keyboard Eisteddfod.

Studio membership includes access to various resources. While students are required to purchase examination scores, the Lending Library includes beginner method books, ensemble repertoire (duets, trios), fun pieces (e.g. Christmas songs), studies, and sight reading exercises.

Selected students will be invited to perform in masterclasses with visiting concert pianists.

Held late in Term 2 specifically for students preparing for AMEB exams, General Knowledge Quiz Parties are a fun way to gain confidence answering general knowledge exams. Students are grouped by grade. Each student receives a booklet for their specific exam pieces, plus worksheets and activities students can use at home.

Held in Term 1 specifically for students preparing for AMEB exams, Scale Parties are a fun way to gain confidence with the set technical work. Students are grouped by grade. Resources include games and activities students can also use at home.

Occasionally, students (and their families) will be invited to purchase tickets for public concerts. These may include discount offers and priority booking options.
