The health and safety of both students and staff at the New School is of the utmost importance to us, and we have made a number of changes to the school, its equipment and our policies to make in-school tuition safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. (See the Recommended Instruments tab for a list of recommended digital pianos, two of which are available from Waltons Music at discounts for enrolled students.) An acoustic or digital piano is strongly recommended, as both have вЂweightedвЂ™ keys.

Classes for the in-school version take place in the New SchoolвЂ™s Piano Lab, where participants learn on individual pianos.ДЇor both versions, participants will need to have acoustic pianos, digital pianos or electronic keyboards to practise with at home (or for both classes and practice in the online version), as well as copies of The Classic Piano Course, Book I, by Carol Barratt (Chester Music, available from Waltons or any good music shop) before the course begins. We offer two versions of this course, in-school, which takes place in the New School, and online, which takes place in your own home.

Students learn the fundamentals of keyboard technique вЂ“ as well as basic music theory, sight-reading and chordal accompaniment вЂ“ while progressing through a varied and interesting repertoire that ranges from classical to pop.

Congratulations on an excellent site and thank you. The lessons are explained very well, with the audio clips a great help. What a pleasure to find a site that really wants to help you. I have found pianonanny to be a much better learning tool than any of them. I tried a few different sites before I found pianonanny and after a few simple lessons they all invariably wanted money to continue. In the space of a few days I have worked my way through the beginner class and can honestly say I have learned more in these few days than in 2 years at school. On a total whim whilst Christmas shopping, I bought myself a Yamaha keyboard with the intention to try again and I am so glad I did and that I found pianonanny. I never really got started trying to learn piano and have always regretted it. вЂњI took a general music GCSE at school aged 16, and ended up totally lost and bewildered with the theory.
