A journey for survival

by Anthony Williams

I remember vividly, and with some embarrassment, giving my first lessons to young piano pupils in North London.

As a young concert pianist I had no previous experience in piano teaching but parents who had heard me play

thought that this gave me the expertise and understanding to teach their son or daughter. I loved teaching but

it was a huge responsibility and I fear I bluffed my way through, always acutely aware of my fallibility and failings.

Despite my best efforts to find out more about teaching at this level I found it very hard to glean much advice from

colleagues or to find any books which gave me the fundamental knowledge or appropriate musical strategies that

I needed to teach young pupils.

In an effort to find out more, I made the development of a free and relaxed technique the focus of my Master’s

degree and, whilst continuing a performing career, devoted myself to piano teaching and to developing my own

expertise and understanding. I explored, researched and analysed recordings and videos of my own teaching to

discover what worked and, of course, what didn’t, and I consulted with more experienced teachers. Eventually

I found myself talking to and discussing teaching in seminars and became a mentor and tutor on a number of

Professional Development Courses. As a result I have had the privilege of sitting in on hundreds of piano lessons

given by other teachers, naturally embracing some of their fabulous ideas to use in my own teaching and hopefully

offering some of my own in return.

More recent presenting work and masterclasses over a number of years have given me the opportunity to explore

areas of teaching in even greater depth, to share ideas in more detail and to pass these on to other teachers, both in

the UK and internationally. It wasn’t long before I had a huge resource of material on all areas of piano performance,

piano teaching and piano technique and I found myself being contacted regularly by piano teachers asking for

help on specific areas of their teaching. Keen to do this, I also promised numerous times that I would eventually

put all my thoughts and pooled knowledge in one place and the idea (though not the title) of The Piano Teacher’s

Survival Guide came to mind, and for some time was an ambition close to my heart. A sabbatical and some muchneeded

encouragement from Faber Music finally encouraged me to put in the work and the book became a reality.

Faber Music Piano Catalogue

It’s not a ‘how to teach’ book, it’s a book of ideas, thoughts and fundamental principles, and yet I wanted it to be

more than just a sharing of information about piano technique and performance. In my early years my inexperience

as a teacher meant I often neglected the musical imagination and creativity that inspires pupils to put in hard

work and practice. I now strongly believe in putting communication, a love of the beauty of sound and an

understanding of the physical relationship with the piano at the heart of teaching to nurture a truly instinctive and

musical performer. Combine this with a relaxed, balanced and instinctive (rather than drilled) physical approach

to the piano and you allow the natural personality of the performer to emerge. This philosophy became the

overwhelming context of the book and linked all the threads together.

“It’s so full of wisdom, brilliant

technique [and] energy...all the

information and advice is clothed in

imagination making everything that is

perceived as difficult seem so simple,

clear and obvious.”

Hilary du Pré

round as weight is released. Use a greater

legato (overlap of notes) at the bottom end of

to cover. I hope that it will be the resource that both new and experienced teachers alike turn to when they need

inspiration or new ideas, and that it will be the springboard for development, helping them to understand the

challenges faced by young pupils. Above all, I hope it will encourage teaching that puts the pupil and teacher’s own

personalities and imagination at the heart of every lesson.

do i have to sight-read?

by Paul Harris

This is a question many teachers may hear from their students. And for those who can play well from memory or by

ear, why would they need to? The greatest gift we can give our pupils is musical independence, no longer needing a

teacher to show them how it goes. If they can read, the whole wonderful world of music is open for them to explore

and enjoy without restriction. Pianists can learn music to their hearts’ content, play duets, accompany friends and

take part in all manner of ensemble playing with the confidence that their reading skills will allow them complete

and unhindered understanding. And they’ll get high marks in exams!

The Improve your sight-reading! Teacher’s book for piano completes the process of learning to sight-read. If

some lessons, or parts of lessons are given to teaching sight-reading skills (set out comprehensively in the Teacher’s

book) and the pupil then goes home to practise (using the Improve your sight-reading! workbooks), the teacher will

now find plentiful material to use to complete and polish the process.

Sight-reading can be taught. And all pupils can learn to sight-read accurately, fluently and confidently if they are

taught in a systematic manner. The Improve your sight-reading! series, now complete with the addition of this

teacher’s book will, through its methodical approach, allow all to achieve this essential core skill. Because each step

forward is sequential and logical, progress will be continually evident and the whole experience will be fulfilling

and fun!

“[The Teacher’s book] is a great treasury of how to teach sight-reading for whatever reason.

A great book for peri teachers – it’s a one-stop-shop – and a great book for us all.”

Fiona Lau, Music Teacher Magazine

“This book succinctly explains how to address the sight-reading factor, and teachers will no

doubt find it a practical, convenient volume to keep at the side of the piano.”

Melanie Spanswick, The Classical Piano and Music Education Blog

approaching the tricky

intermediate stage

by Karen Marshall

At school, I was lucky to have a very inspirational music teacher. As part of our GCSE classes, he provided us with a

huge amount of listening material, with music from all periods and genres, which opened my ears to a whole palate

of music I’d never heard before. Added to that, he was brilliant at playing by ear, performing jazz, arranging music

for ensembles and transposing pieces on demand. This was a musician who had a full package of musical skills

and, as a young teenager, I found this almost magical. As a piano teacher and someone who works with dyslexic

GCSE and A-level students, I’ve always tried to ensure my students develop this full set of skills, including the ability

to play by ear, compose, transpose and interpret a wide range of styles, as well as knowing all their scales and

arpeggios and having the confidence to play as part of an ensemble.

The Intermediate Pianist is an amalgamation of my life’s work, tailoring this holistic learning experience for use

with Grade 3 to 5 level students. This intermediate stage of learning the piano – and indeed any instrument – is a

notoriously tricky period, when many teachers may find students dropping off, losing interest and quitting lessons.

These books tackle the issues faced by students and teachers through these stages and provide a music curriculum

to engage, excite, enthuse and educate pupils, helping them to understand the music that they are playing and

developing them into well-rounded musicians.

Heather and I organised the material in The Intermediate Pianist into chapters that are each designed to give

approximately one month’s work. Each of these chapters contain a variety of elements and styles, and the terms

used throughout also support and reflect those required for GCSE Music. We made sure that the music deliberately

spanned a range of difficulty levels, so some pieces can be learnt in just one or two weeks, whilst others are more

challenging. We developed the series to be ideal for use by private and peripatetic piano teachers. However, GCSE

music teachers may also find it helpful for pianists in their classes as some of the vocabulary has been included and

it’s a fantastic way to revise genre and period along with theory and composing techniques. The Intermediate

Pianist is in essence a music curriculum that piano teachers can use to fit with their teaching style, either by

working through each chapter in lessons, or by getting students to use it at home. And it’s equally suitable to be

dipped into a chapter at a time, to complement the teacher’s standard curriculum. Each chapter contains a variety

of elements which include quick-learn pieces, theory, technique, core repertoire, challenges, activities and

recital pieces.

Have i left it too late?

“I’ve always wanted to play the piano but surely I’ve left it too late?” Sound familiar? Many adults regret not learning

or giving up the piano as a child, and are turning to the instrument later in life. Celebrities are leading the way, with

the likes of politician Ed Balls, comedian Alistair McGowan, Hollywood actor Channing Tatum and even Doctor

Who’s David Tennant taking to the keys as adults. What is it that makes them, and so many others, want to play the

piano?

The benefits of taking up a musical instrument later in life are well documented. Jennifer Bugos, Assistant Professor

of Music Education at the University of South Florida, studied the impact of piano lessons on adults between 60

and 85 years old. “Musical training seems to have a beneficial impact at whatever age you start,” she stated. “After six

months, those who had received piano lessons showed more robust gains in memory, verbal fluency, the speed at

which they processed information, planning ability, and other cognitive functions, compared with those who had

not received lessons”. But not many people are going to learn an instrument with the sole aim of improving their

cognitive function. Playing the piano is fun! It’s a great skill to have (and show off), it makes you happier, improves

confidence and mood, and provides a sense of achievement. These reasons are more likely to be why Ed Balls,

David Tennant and so many others have turned to the piano. It’s also a great way of giving you something to focus

your mind on – which can come in handy at the end of a stressful work day. If you practice mindfulness, you may

want to explore how you can incorporate playing the piano in helping to achieve a sense of well-being with our

Mindfulness: the piano collection.

So, once the decision has been made to finally take up, or return to, the piano, what’s the best way to go about it?

“Adults learn and use their brains in a different away to children, needing both structure and stimulation,” says Pam

Wedgwood, author of It’s never too late to play piano. Unlike many other piano tutors out there, this groundbreaking

method has been devised especially with adult learners in mind. “The key to success is for students to

have something they really want to play. It might seem obvious, but most beginners want a bit of everything and

to get playing straight away, so this book introduces a wide range of styles: favourite classical tunes that people

will know, as well as jazz, blues, folk and pop. The arrangements are quite short so you feel you are progressing and

playing real music quite quickly, and CD backings make even the simplest pieces sound great.” The book covers one

year’s learning and is organised into units that break the learning process into bite-size, manageable chunks. All the

essential music theory and technique is covered, and improvising and sight-reading are included in the early stages

to stimulate learning. Designed to be used with or without a teacher, it presents information and help in the form of

top tips and fact files, and activities that help with challenges such as co-ordination and memory skills (for example

using your weaker hand to clean your teeth to help strengthen it for a more balanced performance).

Pam Wedgwood has taught adults for many years and has seen how playing the piano has transformed their lives.

With over 30 years’ teaching and writing experience, and a real understanding of the rewards and challenges that

can come from learning later in life, her all-in-one piano tutor It’s never too late to play piano provides adult

learners with the tools they need to finally master the keys.

Faber Music’s House Composers represent some of the most innovative and inspiring musical voices of

our time. Between them, they have created a wonderfully diverse body of music for piano which offers

something for everyone…from inquisitive student to seasoned professional.

Thomas Adès

Darknesse Visible is a 7-minute explosion of John Dowland’s lute song In Darknesse Let Me

Dwell (1610). In this piece, Adès transforms the piano into an instrument that’s alchemically

capable of sustaining a continuous line of melody; the technique of ceaseless tremolo

conjures a ghostly shimmer from the instrument.

0571518044 Darknesse Visible Thomas Adès £12.99 €16.78

julian anderson

musical insight should look no further than these short Études: four brilliant works which

combine an intensity of expression with inner coherence with a brilliantly articulated

surface.

george benjamin

The ten exquisite miniatures that make up Piano Figures were specifically conceived for

the hands of young pianists. Most of the short movements do not present large technical

challenges, though a few do require a degree of virtuosity.

benjamin Britten

Bursting with character and charm, these engaging and accessible pieces originate from

Britten’s early unpublished Sonata Romantica. Ideal teaching pieces, they offer a wide

gamut of emotions, from the dramatic contrasts of the Moderato to the Nocturne’s long

singing lines and dusky harmonies.

Jonathan Harvey

In this dazzling 3-minute work from one of British music’s most innovative voices, brilliant

shards of sound spectra collide with highly accented and rhythmic material in the bass.

Written for the ABRSM in 1995, it is a fantastic introduction to Harvey’s wonderfully highspirited

musical imagination.

0571518982 ff Jonathan Harvey £7.50 €9.81

Oliver Knussen

Prayer Bell Sketch is a hauntingly beautiful study in weight and measure, resonance

and reverberation. Lasting 6-minutes, it recollects and rearranges a few clear, bell-like

harmonies into an enchanting, deeply personal, statement.

0571519520 Prayer Bell Sketch Oliver Knussen £9.99 €13.97

Colin Matthews

This highly contrasted set of pieces from Matthews’ suite for piano dates from the late 70s.

From the percussive Toccata, the hushed Nocturne and the aggressive and volatile Scherzo,

this is music of exhilarating expressive scope which displays a dazzling grasp of

the instrument.

0571505554 Toccata, Nocturne and Scherzo George Benjamin £12.99 €16.78

David Matthews

David Matthews’ charming Variations for Piano comprise twenty four variations on an

original folk-like theme. After a first group of exhilaratingly fast variations, the 15-minute

work continues with slower, sometimes blues-inspired, music.

0571518621 Variations for Piano David Matthews £8.99 €13.04

Olivier Messiaen

This recently rediscovered Messiaen work takes its name from the Sub Alpine Warbler.

Filled with the bird’s song, the 11-minute piece dates from 1961 and was possibly intended

to be part of a second Catalogue d’Oiseaux. A fascinating addition to the repertoire.
