Principal Study tuition is available in piano, harpsichord and, for postgraduates only, accompaniment. We arguably house the best fleet of pianos in the UK, including 49 Steinways and 75 Yamahas, and harpsichordists have access to a variety of period instruments.
You’ll also benefit from inspiring masterclasses and clinics with artists including our International Chairs in Piano, Stephen Hough, Kathryn Stott and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet.
And we regularly welcome non-musicians, such as sports psychologists, to give motivational talks to enhance your professional skills.
Performance opportunities include a weekly performance class, six internal competitions covering various repertoire, professional engagements throughout the country, and an annual Piano Day, which provides invaluable experience playing alongside tutors and guest artists.
Harpsichordists also have the chance to perform with both modern- and period-instrument chamber groups, as well as in opera and orchestral concerts.
