Links
On this page you will find a number of my favourite piano-related websites. Whether you play, listen or are just curious, I hope you will enjoy them. If you have your own favourite website that you would like to share, please contact me and I will include it below.


European Piano Teachers Association
The European Piano Teachers Association has a presence in almost every European country. EPTA promotes excellence in piano teaching and performance, bringing teachers and performers together to raise standards within the profession.
 
Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music
With over 100 years’ experience, the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music is the world's leading music examining board. Over 600,000 people take their music exams each year, in more than 90 countries around the world.
Pianoforte Tuners' Association
The Pianoforte Tuners' Association website will help you to find a qualified local piano tuner, and offers guidance on tuning and servicing fees. The Association also provides information on buying and selling pianos, and caring for your instrument.
Association of Blind Piano Tuners
The website of the Association of Blind Piano Tuners claims to be the ‘home of the UK piano industry’. It has an almost overwhelming array of fascinating information on the history of the instrument, piano manufacturers and much, much more.
YouTube
Where can you find Victor Borge, Lang Lang and Oscar Levant all in one place? YouTube, of course! With everyone from enthusiastic amateurs to the world’s finest concert pianists on show, you’ll be bursting with inspiration in no time at all.
Piano Street
The Piano Street website receives more than 5,000 visitors a day. For less than £2 a month you can download thousands of high quality scores and manuscripts, graded by difficulty. New pieces and recordings are added each month.
MakingMusicFun
MakingMusicFun is one of the best sources of piano music for children on the internet, and completely free to use. The choice of carefully chosen scores and recordings is constantly expanding, and they have some great games and activities too.
G Major Music Theory
A large selection of well-known pieces arranged for children, from complete beginners to those who have been playing for up to two years. All of the pieces are free to download, and each has been recorded to help you choose which you’d like to play.
Easy Sheet Music
Non-members can download three free pieces a day; members pay £7.50 a year. You’ll find Boogie Woogie and Blues, original pieces in film score style, famous opera arias, popular classics and national songs from around the world. Hava nagila!
Piano Music Sight-Reading Practice
An excellent new website that allows you to sight-read notes in both the treble and bass clefs, and play the corresponding notes on a full-size piano keyboard. You can also set the level of difficulty you want, to focus on specific key signatures and note ranges.
Mission to Magmanon
Younger pianists can brush up on their sight-reading skills with Mission to Magmanon, a fun online game. The inhabitants of the planet Toness communicate entirely through music; players must use the piano keys to rescue trapped alien scientists!
Piano Pooch
Copying Piano Pooch as he shows you how to play a Chinese New Year concerto is a great way for young children to develop both their musical ear and memory. However old you are, you’ll find this dog cute - he even taps his foot impatiently if you take too long!
Creating Music
Three fun games for children to play, perhaps with a little help from Mum and Dad! Two ask you to spot changes to melodies, some of which you get to compose yourself, and the third involves creating and recalling short rhythms.
Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts
The first Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts was held in 1926, and is still going strong more than 80 years later. The piano classes are excellent, catering for every age and ability. If you aren’t tempted to enter, do go along and watch!
Cheltenham Town Hall
Cheltenham Town Hall and Pittville Pump Room host an enormous range of concerts each year, including live music of every description. Your chance to hear the brightest and best pianists from the UK and abroad, right here in Gloucestershire!
