Retirement from Essex Music Services Piano Teaching.


Dear Piano Parents, 

Time stands still for no one and as this year is my 60th birthday, I have decided to retire from Essex Music Services and therefore from my teaching at Moulsham High School and The Cathedral School. This is a sad occasion for me as I have been teaching at MHS  for 21 years ( I even taught the current Head of Music) and at The Cathedral School for 20 years ( my association with CS spans 31 years...).

I have loved teaching your children and watching them progress from beginners to confident pianists over the years. I officially retire on Sat May 20th so my last days of teaching will be on Tuesday 16th at MHS and Wednesday 17th May at The Cathedral School.

I will continue my free-lance work for ABRSM, Music Teacher magazine and my private teaching- do contact me if you want to have lessons.  Meanwhile can I say a huge thank you for all your support and friendliness; I will miss you all,

 

Very best wishes,

 

Fiona Lau

Well done exam takers!

Well done to everyone who took a grade exam recently. It is not an easy thing to do and you all did so well as you worked up to the actual day; I enjoyed hearing your pieces and scales as they became better and better, there were some lovely performances in our lessons.

The results should be through in about two weeks and I will let you know as soon as they arrive. Remember that happiness starts at the pass mark of 100!

Have a well earned Easter break.

Fiona Lau.
