At WKMT, we created this weekend course for piano students interested in growing their confidence in playing their pieces before sitting a grade examination, recording a WKMT exam or playing in front of an audience.

The course is designed and delivered by Daniel Pereira with the collaboration of Juan Rezzuto, founder & director of WKMT London with the collaboration of one or more professionals.

His accolades include prestigious awards such as the Moses Haltzmark and the Extraordinary End-of-Professional-Degree Prize. In 2020, he released a critically acclaimed double CD, “90: Scriabin Complete Piano Preludes”, celebrated for its passionate rendition.

Throughout his career, Pereira has engaged in festivals and masterclasses across various countries and has been featured in international media outlets. He has collaborated with esteemed piano maestros and has taught and lectured at events like the IKFEM. His research at the International Piano Archives at Maryland culminated in the publication of his “Pianistic Traditions” project, delving deep into historical pianists and performance techniques.
