Learner spotlight

Spotlight on Miguel

Miguel continues to go from strength to strength with his piano playing and overall musicality. Through his weekly one-to-one lessons, he is growing steadily in both confidence and skill.

In this performance, Miguel first showcases impressive rhythm skills by playing two-note chords within an ensemble setting. He then takes his performance even further by incorporating vocals and exploring more advanced rhythmic motifs. It has been wonderful to see his ability, confidence, and musical expression continue to flourish each week.
