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

Basic technique The fingers should be kept
close to the keys. The arpeggio is gestural,

fingertips (small movements of the fingers into
the keys). It should be articulated with a static
hand and high finger-lift.

Refined technique The crescendo is achieved
by releasing weight through to the weaker
fingers at the top. A more gestural action
involves a vertical circular movement of the
wrist towards the outside of the hand (which
begins before the first note is played so there
is no accent). The wrist should come up and
round as weight is released. Use a greater
legato (overlap of notes) at the bottom end of
the arpeggio to give it even more shape.
Further ideas Use differing amounts of weight
behind the hand, amounts of lateral movement
of the wrist and energy (speed) in the finger to
give different shapes and sound.

Whilst, as the title suggests, it is to be a book that can be ‘dipped into’ it is also a book that can be read from cover
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.”

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.

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

singing lines and dusky harmonies.

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.

musical imagination.

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

the instrument.

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.
