If Chalfont St Peter is too far for you to travel, David is also willling to teach via Skype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David has lectured at the Royal Society of Medicine under the auspice of British Performing Arts Medicine on his successes with Repetative Strain Injury cases. He has also lectured to the Slovene branch of the European Piano teachers&#8217; Association on Piano Sound. For further biographical details, please see the other pages on this Website.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those not sure whether they wish to fully commit to learning the piano, for which a piano at home for regular practice is normally required, David runs courses consisting of a daily 30 minutes lesson for 5 consecutive days. As no practice is required in between these lessons &#8211;&nbsp;that&#8217;s the reason they&#8217;re as near daily as possible! &#8211;&nbsp;this short course gives people the opportunity to try out piano lessons without the need for having a piano at home (though the course is equally open to those who have). By the end of it you&#8217;ll have learnt some basic music notation, piano playing technique and you&#8217;ll be able to play an easy nursery rhyme.
