27/04/21 12:50

I am pleased to be able to welcome everyone back to face to face lessons, subject to COVID measures of course.

26/02/21 14:23

From 8 March, face-to-face teaching can take place either in the teacher's home or the pupil's, provided that lessons are being used to obtain a regulated qualification, to meet the entry requirements for an education institution (e.g. auditions), or to undertake exams and assessments. Lessons are subject to a risk assessment plus the usual mitigations and COVID-safe working practices. At this stage it is not clear whether adult face-to-face teaching can resume. Further updates will follow when more is known.

05/01/21 12:22

Zoom recently released a new version of their platform and the sound options have changed. Please note that you probably will need to alter some settings to get sound of usable quality.

05/01/21 12:19

Following the government's announcement yesterday evening, all lessons are online only at present. I hope we can get back to meeting face to face again before too long.

01/01/21 17:38

The good news is that lessons can continue, even in Tier 4, as long as they are supporting formal education. See my COVID-19 page for full details.

03/12/20 22:41

In all three tiers, private face-to-face teaching can now take place in a teacher’s or pupil’s home provided that a COVID-19 risk assessment has been made and that other mitigating actions will be taken. I am therefore offering face to face lessons once more.

02/12/20 09:42

ABRSM has revised its "Guidance for Candidates" document. Anyone taking an exam in the current 2020 period should be familiar with this before attending a practical exam. Please see my COVID-19 page, where you will find a link.

02/12/20 09:39

Whilst final details and clarification are still awaited, it is hoped that Face to Face lessons will be able to resume. Please see my COVID-19 page, which has been updated to reflect the latest position.

28/11/20 11:38

The government has published guidance regarding the three tiers that will be in effect after December 2nd. The ISM has stated that their current interpretation is that face-to-face private tuition can proceed in all tiers. More clarification is being sought however, and the guidance could change again. Please check back here for the latest updates.
