MORE DETAILS

A workshop for parents who want to better understand their child’s piano progress, as well as supporting success at every stage.

As a piano parent, it can be hard to know what progress actually looks like. This workshop is designed to help parents better understand what their child is learning, how progress is measured, and how to confidently support their musical growth.

Parents will leave with greater confidence, practical insight, and a stronger understanding of how to best support their child’s musical growth at every stage.
