Come and play a concert grand piano on the Middleton Hall stage, supported by professionals with a wealth of insights, hints and tips to make your piano playing even better!
We welcome pianists from the early stages (Grade 1) right through to Diploma standard to come and take part. If you're an adult, brushing up earlier skills, or learning by yourself, this is for you too.
