English and Piano Academy at Harrow School

This unique two week BABSSCo programme in association with EdmissionUK and Steinway & Sons is designed for 13-17 year old girls and boys, who as young pianists may be hoping to pursue a career in music, or simply want to learn from some of the most internationally distinguished professionals. The programme will be tailor made to encourage students to get the most out of this inspiring course.

Piano lessons, master classes and group workshops run by Artistic Directors from London’s world-famous Royal Academy of Music will take place in the morning using the facilities at Harrow School including concert pianos and top quality practice rooms.

Students are taught by qualified EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers. The average class size is 10 so students will receive plenty of teacher attention and have a high quality class experience. Students will improve language skills through a range of interesting and exciting activities.

Evening and weekend activities and excursions will include a tour of London’s Royal Academy of Music and concert tickets to the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms concert season, a guided tour of Steinway & Sons with opportunities to play various Steinway models. Students will also be able to audition for the final recital in Steinway Hall, London, at the end of the course.

All students will have invaluable performance opportunities as part of the Harrow Piano Festival 2010 and inspiring one-to-one tuition with their esteemed piano tutors. The Artistic Directors will also give exclusive recitals for the students.
