Piano Accompaniment Course


This is a course dealing in all aspects of piano accompaniment from sight-reading to performance on the concert platform.  It is suitable for accompanists of all standards and, through friendly, supportive and collaborative teaching, will aim to develop ensemble skills through a wide range of repertoire and with the help of a group of resident instrumentalists.

With the availability of a large number of practice rooms, participants will have ample opportunity to make music with singers and instrumentalists from other courses during their free time.
