During this difficult time keeping ourselves occupied while being at home can be a challenge.

To give back to our community, HomeSchoolPiano is giving free access to anyone who is interested in learning the piano at home.
There is no charge for this free membership and you will be given full access to HomeSchoolPiano Level 1 which takes most students 6 months to a year to complete.

"Our aim is to develop remote assessments that are fit for purpose and that give you what you want. We are looking beyond the current pandemic to offer new online and live assessments to complement our existing ones."

It's unclear whether you perform live through video conferencing, or submit your best recording in this new assessment mode. However, "online and live assessments" seems to suggest the former. Stay tuned.

A teenager who lost both of her hands to meningitis when she was a baby has rediscovered her love of the piano during the coronavirus lockdown.

Tilly Lockey, from Consett in County Durham, said she was determined not to be defined by her disability.

The 14-year-old said: "You would think playing the piano with no hands, that's got to be impossible, because it's all about your fingers, but really I just wanted to show everyone that I found my own way, and so can you."
