Some reviews for the Penelope’s  London Piano Courses:

 

"It was an eye-opening experience to attend Penelope’s master course. It was well organised and designed thoughtfully with generous teaching from various aspects tailored to each individual’s needs, yet useful for everybody in a warm atmosphere. I will definitely attend again. It was amazing!" T.N (Japan)

 “The final concert was magical. It was a special challenge to try and take what you'd taught in the course sessions straight into a performance, but all the participants achieved that and were inspired to play at their best”.

 “I liked the course 100%. The venue was excellent and I achieved even more than I had hoped” (C.B., Rumania)

“Thank you again for this extremely rewarding day of masterclass! Thanks a lot for your welcome, your generosity and your highly beneficial musical advice!” (M.E., France)

“Thank you Penelope for a fantastic course. I loved every second” (R.F, Kent)

“Thank you for another very inspirational course. I came home on such a high! Already looking forward to the course next year” E.G-J (Eire)
