What is this project about?
We have been working in London since 2010. Our way of teaching is unique and relies on a deep understanding of music and the psychological framing of each student.
Due to the latter, we are unable to employ piano teachers directly. Therefore, the only way we’ve found to guarantee the quality of our tuition is to ensure every candidate is tested correctly before starting our training. The successful candidates are then trained thoroughly in the subjects that define the WKMT teaching approach.
This position is open to candidates from all over the UK interested in learning a top piano technique. They will also have the chance to live in London within a community of musicians fully committed to intensely studying music and the act of teaching it to other people.
Accommodation, transport and communications are included in the proposal, along with a salary paid on the candidate’s bank account.
