Turn the "ho-hum" of doing exams into an engaging and musical experience for your students... AND get great results!
Improved results...
Davelyn's student was always playing too fast. He would never slow down. Using the Whole Body Learning approach which includes backing tracks he became very focused and was able to slow down and play in time. His results for his exams in the past had been a Merit, now he's achieved a Distinction.
What is Whole Body Learning all about. It's based on the philosophies of Orff, Dalcroze and Kodály and utilises current neuroscientific research to provide piano teachers with an alternative to the traditional read-then-play approach.

What teachers say about
Whole Body Learning
Exam Teaching Courses
Gave me a whole lot of ideas to work with but also let me experience why we need repetition and small chunks to learn a piece of music. :).
- MARIE-LOUISE BETHUNE
"This workshop helped me hone the value of whole-body experiences through movement and voice to support instrumental learning. The importance of movement and vocalising, while exploring and playing with sound, are key elements to sequential learning. The joy, security and skill that develops is transferred to ones instrument where specific skills are mastered and the musician is free to express themselves."
- TRACEY BURTON
I highly recommend it. I have already used some of the techniques acquired in this course with my students and they have all loved it and asked if we could do it again next week.
- BIANCA VELLA
The Whole Body Learning course was the BEST course I have ever been on. It is a must for ALL piano teachers whether experienced or inexperienced.
- JANE BARTON, UK Piano Teacher
The course has given me lots of ideas and strategies to incorporate Whole Body Learning in my teaching. I am already experiencing a more musical outcome from students! Insightful teaching points and suggestions from presenters. I would highly recommend the workshop to all piano teachers!
- PIK KONG - Australian Piano Teacher
These courses were most enjoyable and inspiring. It was so nice to talk to other teachers across the world as well as the UK. I’d definitely recommend it.
