Students can opt to work towards exams; usually taken through ABRSM. For any not wishing to take formal exams there is the choice of a Performance Assessment which provides students with an attractive Certificate and constructive feedback with no marks or grading involved. Exams and the Performance Assessment are not compulsory and it is absolutely fine to learn purely for leisure.
Chris has 10 years teaching experience; teaching various age groups from 5 - 70 + years of age and has prepared students for both exams and auditions. He has a wealth of professional performance experience which he is able to use to enhance his lessons. He has taught several Music teachers and many Students have pursued Musical Careers.
He is a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) and an Accredited Music teacher for Derby & Derbyshire Music Partnership.

Penelope is an internationally renowned pianist and teacher and professor of Piano and Piano Pedagogy at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and visiting professor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
