Teaching Diplomas
Develop the knowledge, technique, and professional practice to teach with clarity and confidence. Teaching Diplomas provide a rigorous pathway for pianists and educators seeking recognised credentials through AMEB, ABRSM, or Trinity, while building real-world studio skills.
Who It’s For
Ideal for emerging teachers starting a studio, experienced tutors formalising their qualifications, and advanced pianists adding pedagogy to their professional profile.
What You’ll Learn
- Pedagogical foundations — how students learn; sequencing skills from beginner to advanced.
- Technique & injury-aware teaching — practical tools drawn from the Taubman Approach for healthy, efficient movement.
- Repertoire & syllabus literacy — AMEB/ABRSM/Trinity requirements, levels, and benchmarking.
- Musicianship & theory integration — building reading, aural skills, and harmonic understanding into lessons.
- Assessment preparation — lesson plans, teaching demonstrations, viva voce, and written components.
- Studio practice — communication, feedback, scheduling, policies, and parent engagement.
How the Program Works
We start with a diagnostic of your current strengths and goals, then map a clear plan to your chosen Diploma. Through lesson observations, teaching demonstrations, repertoire discussion, and mock assessments, you’ll build a toolkit you can use immediately in your studio.
Teach with clarity. Mentor with confidence. Build a studio you’re proud of.
