Piano for older hands

Welcome to “Piano for Older Hands,” a therapeutic and supportive course led by internationally acclaimed concert pianist Colleen Rae-Gerrard. Designed for older individuals with previous piano experience, this class provides a small, tight-knit community for mature learners to share their love for music.

In term 2 this year, classes will run on both Mondays and Wednesdays at 11:00 AM.  Students are able to attend weekly on the day of their choice, up to a maximum of 8 classes per term.

Under Colleen’s expert guidance, students receive personalised advice to refine technique, explore expressive playing, and enhance musicality. Each week, students perform for one another, fostering a supportive atmosphere where they learn from and celebrate each other’s progress. To participate in this course, it is recommended that students come prepared with a piece they are already familiar with and ready to play. This approach ensures that each student can make the most of their time in the class, receiving specific feedback and guidance on their chosen repertoire.

Join us for an enriching musical journey, where you can rediscover the joy of piano in the company of like-minded individuals.

• Enhanced technique and musicality
