The London Piano Meetup Group meet several times each month at different venues in London for informal performance opportunities - we also welcome instrumentalists as we have many pianists that are keen to improve their accompanying skills. All levels encouraged, particularly beginners and intermediate players.

Hello All,

 

We are a London piano group. We meet once a month to play on a grand piano in a hired rehearsal room for about 2 hours. We share costs which are not more than £5 per person per event.

 

The group is open to pianists at intermediate level and above. Broadly speaking, this is anywhere from about grade 6 up to diploma. All genres are played - classical, jazz, blues, film themes, improvisations as well as ABRSM grade pieces.

 

For more information, go to     http://www.meetup.com/Music-Meetups/    In particular, please look at past events to see what pieces were played.

 

The last event was on Saturday January 31st in Wimbledon. The next event is on Saturday February 28th at Peregrine's Pianos in central London.

 

We are an adult group but children over 12 are welcome if they have a good pass at grade 6 and are accompanied by an adult (teacher or parent).

 

Can this group be entered on the list of playing opportunities please?

 

Regards

 

Mike

I didn't mention a specific location in London. Suggest "Wimbledon" since we have played there the most.

[Solari]

Hi all,

I'm arranging Piano Events in central London again but I would really like to get some lower grades involved as people have progressed so much over the past few years that we don't get to hear any of the early grade repertoire anymore! We need to mix it up a little!

Adult (18+) Pianists at grades 1-5 are especially welcome to PM me to find out more. Very informal, supportive performance opportunities with plenty of piano time if you can use it. Every 3 months or so on a Saturday.
