Do you find it takes you ages to learn new pieces? Or do your pieces fall apart when you try to play them at speed? Does practising sometimes feel like a chore or do you find yourself losing concentration?
Graham Fitch’s new series of interactive workshops will show you how to apply his tried and tested practice tools for effective, enjoyable and rewarding practice sessions. Based on our most popular resources and workshops of all time, these sessions combine video lessons with hands-on demonstrations and activities specially designed to help you get the best results from your practising!
Each workshop features a selection of tools and practice methods that are introduced in video lessons sent in advance for the session. During the workshop, Graham will demonstrate these tools and exercises for applying each of them to your own pieces (or prescribed examples). You will then have the opportunity in a break-out session to try them out in the comfort of your own home and get assistance from Graham afterwards if you wish.
Over the course of four workshops, you’ll learn how to:
WORKSHOP 1 (8th March @ 15:00 – 17:00 GMT): Slowly Does It: Discover how to lay solid foundations when learning a new piece, how to maintain and finesse control in pieces you already know and to combine slow practice with fast movements for building accuracy and speed.

WORKSHOP 2 (5th April @ 15:00 – 17:00 BST): Fasten Your Safety Belts! Learn how to apply a range of tools such as chaining, rhythms, accents and different types of controlled stops to build speed, fluency and accuracy while avoiding common pitfalls that can prevent you from reaching the full performance tempo.

WORKSHOPS 3 & 4 (10th May & 7th June @ 15:00 – 17:00 BST): Creativity in Practice – Make your practice sessions focussed, fun, engaging and imaginative using practice tools as “practice toys” and “desirable difficulties” to incorporate challenges into practising for greater concentration.
The prescribed examples and exercises will be drawn from repertoire at an intermediate level and will be suitable for pianists from a late elementary level (approx. grade 3 / 4) through to advanced levels (you may also choose to use your own pieces for these exercises). Worksheets with the examples and exercises will be sent out in advance of each session and you will also receive recordings of the sessions which will allow you to revisit the demonstrations and exercises in your own time thereafter.
