2020 News - Achieving despite the first 'Covid' Year!

Well, like everybody else, we had a challenging year in 2020.  Things were humming along nicely at the start of the year...only to be disrupted by the first lockdown!  Which meant that all our students (and their wonderful parents!) learned a lot about learning piano online.  Whilst we still value traditional in-person lessons, we were thrilled with just how successful both students and teachers were in surviving and then thriving with Zoom lessons! 

 

Of course, prior to Covid, our long-term distance students had already shown us just how effective online lessons can be - But it has been simply stunning to see the results this year, despite the majority of students' lessons being online for at least 6 months.  

 

Congratulations to Everyone!  We are just so proud of you all for persevering & overcoming challenges in 2020!
