primo piano lessons at the primo school of music, cardiff
The Primo School of Music was founded in 2012 by Tim Riley. At the outset, Tim
conducted all the piano lessons himself and has gradually evolved a system of
group teaching that combines some of the best practice from ‘one to one’ piano
teaching combined with more progressive group teaching techniques. In addition,
with more than twenty five years of experience as a composer and arranger he is
continually writing new pieces and special arrangements of traditional melodies
and classical tunes for our teaching partners to use exclusively in our piano
lessons. With these strong foundations in place, Tim is currently working with a
very few experienced piano teachers who share his passion for group piano
teaching. All teachers (who are already experienced piano teachers) working with
Primo Piano receive full initial training, ongoing training and mentoring to
ensure the highest standards. Tim, a father of three, has this to say about
Primo Piano and his plans for the future: “Developing and growing Primo Piano is
the culmination of everything I’ve learned to date. It is an investment in the
future – not just for myself but also for the community I live in. Seeing
children develop as musicians and people gives me huge satisfaction and is so
much more than a job – it is a vocation.”
