Bio
Teaching Info
In order to ensure a well-rounded education in piano – whilst maintaining engagement and commitment to lessons and personal practice – I strive to ensure balanced lessons encompassing a wide range of technical and artistic components.
Lessons will predominantly follow the guidelines and structure set out by the AMEB piano syllabus (although if the students or parents/guardians have a particular interest in a separate pathway, I am certainly open to discuss the feasibility of this). We’ll focus on both technical exercises for a small part of each lessonĀ (scales, arpeggios and other exercises) to continually develop individual playing technique each week. The remainder of time is spent working on repertoire. This repertoire is carefully selected to be technically challenging but achievable over a period of time with the recommended daily practice discussed in the lessons.
Although not required, students will be encouraged to take the opportunities to sit at least one examination throughout the year – allowing them to have their pianistic skills assessed, as well as having a goal/milestone to work towards throughout the year or period. Lessons leading up to the examination allow me to ensure the students are as prepared as possible and are fully equiped for the examination.
If this seems like something you or your child would be interested in, please feel free to contact me through the relevant links on this page, or email me at me@thomassummerfield.com to discuss lessons further.
