WHAT GENRES OF MUSIC CAN I PLAY?
Classical, pop, jazz, blues, improvisation,
show tunes, duets with a partner, exam pieces.-
WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF PLAYING ABILITY?
Roughly beginners to grade 8 and sometimes beyond.
It really doesn’t matter. It’s not about technical complexity or what ‘grade’ your piece is supposed to be, it should only be about sharing the music. We can all gain something from listening to everybody.
I'M NERVOUS PLAYING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE…
Our events are relaxed and supportive; a 'safe place' for you to gain experience playing in front of others and learn how to handle nerves.
PLAYING SLOTS
The standard playing slot is 8 minutes in which to perform one longer piece or two or more shorter pieces, either in a single visit to the piano or several.
If you would like to play a whole sonata or perhaps all the pieces for an upcoming exam, you may select one of the EXTENDED playing slots.
RECITAL SLOTS
Please note ‘recitals’ are rarely offered and we cannot guarantee to offer you a slot.
Initially, please book a STANDARD or EXTENDED playing slot and attend a meetup so we can hear you play and in turn, you can experience how the event is run.
If you are preparing for an advanced grade or diploma it may be possible for you to perform your full programme (on one occasion only) as a run-
You are advised to make your request well in advance.
WILL THERE BE ANY COACHING OR ADVICE?
No. Other than expressions of encouragement, we specifically ask everyone to keep their opinions of other's playing to themselves, since one person's 'helpful advice' is another's 'stinging criticism'!
