ABRSM | Piano Scales & Arpeggios from 2021
- Learning scales and arpeggios helps you to build strong technical skills by developing reliable finger movement, hand position, co-ordination and keyboard fluency. It also helps you to develop your musical understanding through familiarity with keys and their related patterns. In the exam, scales and arpeggios should be played from memory, legato and without pedalling. The examiner will generally ask for all five requirements, in listed order, and will tell you which hand to use for each scale and arpeggio. Further information can be found in the syllabus.

CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
