Tone, Balance and Texture (Grades 5-8) with Alexis White

In this session, Alexis will share her thoughts about teaching these aspects of piano playing, using a variety of pieces from the new ABRSM syllabus for illustration and explanation. Developing a good sense of tone, balance and textural awareness is important from the very beginning - not just at higher grades - so she will be drawing upon new repertoire at all levels. This webinar will feature approximately an hour of pre-recorded content followed by a Q&A from the first broadcast in September 2020.

You will receive access to the webinar, the full transcript plus an exclusive 10% discount code to redeem from the ABRSM online shop.
