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

Burgmüller: L’Orage 1, , bar 10 

Music context Rolling arpeggios represent 

heavy seas or howling winds; the accent is not 

too definitive, more an arrival at the top of the 

phrase. 

Basic technique The fingers should be kept 

close to the keys. The arpeggio is gestural, 

slightly rolled across the fingers but with active 

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.

Refined technique There is scope to place 

the pedal with or just before the B which will 

give a warmer and more rounded initial tone. 

Chords will need to match the decay of the B 

for a more evocative third bar and as the pedal 

is being held they will need to decrescendo to 

avoid a build-up of sound. Keeping an even 

balance in the chords enhances the atmosphere 

and stops them intruding upon the melody. 

Further ideas Experiment with the degree of 

tone on the B and the initial placing of the 

pedal. Put the pedal down after the B and try 

different speeds of descent to see what audible 

difference you can discern. 

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.” 

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 

Pianists looking for contemporary repertoire that showcases both dazzling virtuosity and 

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. 

0571519121 Piano Études 1-3 Julian Anderson £12.99 €16.78 

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. 

0571529593 Piano Figures George Benjamin £12.99 €16.78 

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.

contemporary 

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.
