Piano is a powerful professional Teaching Tool.
On teh one hand , you know it’s your singing expertise that truly moves the needle for your students — BUT! The piano is an excellent and powerful tool for communicating that. It’s one that heads of departments , parents and fellow collegaues fall on gratefully. Unfair? Possibly. But we have to remember — the ones that have control over out singing teaching career don’t always understand the difference between one great singing teacher and another vocal coach.

The Hidden Assets of Playing Piano.

Singers operate heavily in teh world of melody, lyric and story telling. And let’s face it — just making a nice sound, singing in tune and finding our performance style tales a while and can be hard going. Added to that, our instrument is — for once not an exaggeration genuonely unique — and more accomplished tend to move into

So it’s understandable why otehr aspects to music — rhythm, harmony, texture, gets

There’s a cross over point — where teh more accomplished singer start thinging about their ouwn sound — particulrly in teh world of commercial singing — where often anything goes, — and and a less than balanced technique (what singing pedgigist would camll good singing) is forgiven if they have that elusicve something desirble to teh audience.

Thsi is where the piano gets handy. Not really for your student — but for you!! .

Singing and piano iare just so different
- button pressing, logical. The piano can be highly mathmatical. And tactile. (Srevie wonder and his writing in black keuys — coded.

Doing both is brilliant (I am completely biased.)

Apparently listening and reading helps your brain co ordinate

And for me there;’s something in that.

Singing hekps me be more musical
Piano helps me understand
I LOVE playing them both.

Good for you! Haha. So how does that help me teach.

Well, students arrive with all sorts of brains and ways of understanding. We don’t knwo rhat - until we are teaching the,
I find
— The instrumentalist — who wants to sing
— The teenager — who because now Im anciet — doesnt relate tp me aor my singing — but
— The adult who isn’t interested in what teh heck all these singing technical words are (yawn!!) but ther can see — teh shal eon teh piano.

✦ Piano for Singing Teachers —Professional Level Piano.

Get the specific piano skills that support your teaching style — so you can confidently lead one-to-one lessons, pop choirs, or classroom sessions without backing tracks or overwhelm.

This isn’t a piano course. It’s a teaching identity course disguised as one.

I’m not going to turn you into a pianist.
I’m going to make you sound like a musician.

Over 8 weeks, you’ll learn how to:

Use piano as part of your teaching voice
Play vocal warm-ups musically (not mechanically)
Accompany pop and theatre songs with rhythmic authenticity
Cue, transpose, and adapt on the fly
Reveal your unique teaching method through your sound

The piano becomes your secret weapon — your way of expressing musical intelligence, not just hitting chords.

“Your piano for singers course was so amazing. I can now play fairly skilful piano from zero (or one fingered synth) and I use your skills every day. You are such a naturally great teacher too.”

—Ed Staunton (London)

Director and Vocal Coach at Soho Vocal Tuition

🔮 4. The Reframe / Solution

Purpose: Introduce your method as the missing link.
Show insight — this is where your brilliance shines.

Include:

What most people get wrong (“They try to become pianists.”)
What your approach fixes (“I teach you to sound like a musician while teaching singers.”)
Your mechanism / method name (e.g. Coach, Accompany, Connect)

1. A truth bomb.

Most piano courses are designed to make you a pianist. Lovely idea — except that’s not your job.

2. The real insight.

Singing teachers need to play and listen simultaneously. You can’t stare at notation when your student’s about to crack on a high note.

3. The twist.

That’s why I built this differently. You learn through teaching — not through practice hours.

4. The method reveal (give it a name).

It’s called the Coach, Accompany, Connect Method — a way to wire musical fluency into your teaching week, so you sound like a musician even when you’re multitasking.

You’re brilliant at teaching singing — but the piano still feels like the gap in your professional armour.

Maybe you’ve always relied on tracks.
Or you can read notation but can’t style it — everything sounds just a bit too classical, too polite, too careful.

The truth?
The piano doesn’t just accompany your students.
It represents your musicianship, your authority, and your taste.

When you use it well, people hear your musical mind.
When you avoid it, they subconsciously think something’s missing.

It’s time that changed

Chances are you love being a singing teacher.

You love sharing, helping, watching your students grow.

And for the most part, you feel you’ve got something valuable to offer.

But every now and then, you hit a problem:

A melody you’d love to break down—if only you could play it.

A song accompaniment you wish you could just sit down and do.

A student walks in with a chart—expecting you to play.

Or asks to try it in another key.

A job you’d love to go for… if only piano wasn’t part of the brief.

A parent with expectations that don’t quite fit who you are.

Technical things you’d love to tweak—show them how to do sing it better.

Maybe you’ve tried learning piano

Had some lessons, watched a few videos, perhaps signed up for a 10-week “piano course.”

And been quite dismayed at the long road ahead.

It seems like a LOT of practice. Never-ending practice, too.

And you don’t really have the time to devote to pure piano — or, if you’re honest, the enthusiasm. After all, you’re a singer!

Or maybe you’ve simply never had the opportunity. You’d loveto get going but you’re not sure where to start.

And this is the problem with the legacy is huge — classical repertoire, jazz improv, latin grooves. And that’s before we’ve got to the keyboard!

Th good news is you don’t need it all. And infact advanced piano can actually get in the way of teaching singing well.

Which is why standard piano lessons don’t always specifically help singing teachers. Why piano lessons don’t always help singing teachers

Because, funnily enough — piano lessons teach you how to be a pianist. Shocker

Meaning learning repertoire, making a beauftul sound, reading.

Excellent if you are in for the long haul of piano.

But for many singing teachers piano is not a priority. And actually they are not wanting piano as such — they are wanting to help their students sing better.

Because although you do get the student who loves singing with live piano — ultimately , they want to be a better singer — and you to help them with that. Flashy piano can get in the way.

You are learning piano for singing — which is different in itself

And it gets even more specialised: you need piano for teaching singing.

So singing teachers actually need 3 things from the piano:

the ability to xxx
and xxx
they also — because
the payoff is of course the obvious stuff — and that’s very nice
but in my experience
All teh singing teachers I
they also have a uniuq way of crossong the — thinking abut singing.
you coudl think of it as a
your unique methodology
And it’s a good thing to have
because it can genuinely help someone struggling with tehir singing — who will fall on you with joy
So in these days of nt just the only singing teacher

Future proof your singing teaching

Because you are not actually learning piano in the traditional sense! (Very close obviously)

you don’t need to be concert pianist worth — strong piano skills can actualy get in the way
you need 2 things — the ability to loistne
we help you figure the 2nd in our piano decoder + plan
And then we heklp you get the 1st — challenges, micro videos,
and while we at it we assume 3 things
as much as possible as you actually reach

The most important thing you need is to play and listen to your students —

Which means piano needs to be literally under your finders . Instinctive.
And the other good news it doesn’t need to be complicated . Unless you’re specialised (see other course). Your singing students want to sing better. They are not interested in virosoc piano playing etc (and actually it can get in the way)

Standard piano will lessons -big surprise! - teach you how to play the piano.

Whic means: learning pieces, working up a nice touch, understanding notes, perhaps some chords and improv too

Okay —that sounds good but I need this right?

Yes and no. Depends if you are in piano for the long haul.

Piano lessons and piano courses teach you to be a pianist.

Wonderful if you’re in for the long haul of learning piano.

Singing teachers need two things from their piano:

1) The ability to play and genuinely listen to their student

2) The collection of piano skills that support their singing teaching methodology and student type.

So if your focus is teaching singing or coaching vocals – some of the piano stuff covered in straightfoward piano lessons aren’t always necessary.

And can instead by a distraction.

Learning “3 Blind Mice” doesn’t feel that relevant to a singing teacher with a hefty schedule

I’ve worked alongside and taught enough singing teachers to know we are all different, but the common ground is we all care about our students.

So it’s super exciting how our world is no longer just about being the “only singing teacher in the village” –we can genuinely delve deep into our specialist area.

Piano for Singing Teachers 1 teaches you to be a more individual, nuanced singing teacher—using piano as a teaching tool.

It’s not about piano grades. And it’s definitely not about playing Chopin.

It’s about getting the piano you need for your teaching… both current and in the future.

About me

Hello, I’m Elizabeth and I use the piano for singing every day. I know exactly what you need from the piano for teaching—and, most importantly, what you can leave out. I was fortunate to grow up with classical musician parents. Cello and choral music were part of my childhood, and I don’t remember learning to read music. But let me tell you, it took a very long time to cross over to chord interpretation, improv, and rhythm-section playing in commercial groove styles. Now I couldn’t imagine teaching without drawing on both classical and commercial styles.

I’ve been using the piano to teach singing for a long time, but it took a while to get the balance right and use it as a professional tool. I’ve misjudged it many times! I’ve overplayed, got distracted by cleverness, stopped focusing on the student. And then—because my energy was wrong or the rapport was missing—the student wasn’t served or supported as they should have been, undermining the whole point of the lesson.

Playing piano for teaching is NOT about piano excellence. Piano for Singing Teachers has grown out of 1-to-1 lessons, professional workshops, Saturday morning classes, residential courses, summer schools. First Lecturer in Music post came at age 22. I taught for 25+ years in London, including: Visiting Lecturer BMus at Westminster University (10+ years), Head of Vocals at London College of Contemporary Music, Southwark (16+ years), and Director of BRIT Kids at The BRIT School (maternity cover).

The piano can be a game-changer for some teachers, and irrelevant for others. The point is knowing which it is for you.

✦The Coach, Accompany & Connect Method

I’m encouraging you to double down and consider your teaching philosopy and method. Here is mine for Piano for Singing Teachers! There is no neat story of struggle with piano (lots of struggle with piano, just not for teaching). But! It’s the friction of doing it with others that helps us learn. And , of rme, being at close call with other singing teachers — a view we don’t alway have the privelage to get as help ed me refine this methododloy.

#1. Coach

For your students: Some students find it hard to copy pure voice. Demo exercises, teach phrasing, and outline melody lines on the piano — allow them to ‘see’ it on the keys. AND your singing to raise their standard and personalise what you are doing to each student or class.
For you: Evolve your teaching approach beyond the surface level methodologies. Get to the heart of why students would come to you.

#2. Accompany

For your students: Play authentic sounding inspiring popular and musical theatre style song accompaniment -- use the piano to draw out their musicianship AND their vocal technique.

For you: Be more versatile and visible. Allow the piano to be your musical business card. Signal competance, authority and proof of musicianship withouy saying a word. It’s difficult to argue aginst your obvious expertise. Parents and Heads of Department love this.

#3. Connect

For your students: Cross that tricky communication gap and build trust with even the most unconfident of student through making music together. Connect with those from with different backgrounds, ages and first language gets in teh way. they Build trust and rapport music not just words.

For you: You, only better. build network and expand the possibilities. Keep relevant in thsi ever more swiftly changing musical and educational landscape. Trends may come and go byt ard won skill and expertise can not be denied or taken away,

“I came to Elizabeth as a lapsed classical pianist looking to develop my keyboard skills in different areas (choral accompaniment and jazz). Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable in a range of genres and techniques and she is fabulous teacher - warm, encouraging and learner-focused. As a teacher myself, I really appreciated her effective communication and helpful resources. Her guidance and feedback helped me to develop my confidence as a musician.”

FAQ

Q: How is this better than a straightforward piano course?

A: Pianists - even excellent ones - don't fully understand the singing voice, and the delicate business of drawing out a confident result from a student. I have trained, taught and performed for many years in both the piano and singing. And by "trained" I mean: technique, style, repertoire, improvisation and teaching methodology. Getting to a high standard on both instruments took a while. I most certainly have gaps, but I DO understand piano and singing together, and how one can support the other.

Q: I've only got a keyboard - is that okay, or do I need a piano?

A: Perfectly fine - it doesn’t need to be fancy. You don’t need a Steinway—you just need a place to practise. Weighted, full-size keys are preferable but it's not a disaster if you're working with a basic keyboard. And, let’s face it, we can be faced with an assortment of ‘pianos with personality’ in schools and colleges. Learning how to handle this is in the course.

Q: Is this for complete beginners?

A: Not complete beginners to music. If you’re a singing teacher then you know about music. That knowledge and expertise just needs to be drawn out on a piano. If you can find middle C on the piano you’ll be fine.

Q: How does the personalised plan work?

A: The aim is to give you the piano skills for your singing teaching and vocal coaching. For example: those that teach musical theatre to Saturday morning classes may need different vocal warm up patterns to those that work mainly with adults singing for pleasure in a 121 lesson.

Q: I'm from a classical background, new to chords and popular song styles –will this course help me?

A: If you’re confident with classical repertoire, you’ll likely be strong with notation and melody reading. You may now need the ‘other’ side - chords, grooves, style patterns, embellishments, impro. I went through this transformation - painfully! - but it’s so rewarding being able to do both. Covered in Piano for Singing Teachers 2 - Modern Styles Fluent.

Q: Will I need to practice a lot?
A: It depends on your starting point. You’ll need to do some. But this course is built for teachers, not concert pianists. We’re aiming for efficiency rather than endless hours, and noticing the difference in your teaching practice from early on — you should feel more inspired to practise! As much as is genuinely possible we try and embed your practice in your actual teaching.

Q: How long will it take?
A: Around 8 weeks of actual work. But you may find yourself staying on one technique for longer which is both sensible and allowed. Because we embed your practice in your teaching week (paid practice!) you will have a constant feeling of getting there without the pressure.

Q: Can I see the course module breakdown?
A: We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We start with what you’re trying to achieve and work out the best way to get you there. As a teacher, you’ll probably appreciate that. The general feedback (and my own experience too) is that approaching your teaching through the lens of the piano—and from a fresh angle—gives you a deeper understanding of your singing teacher philosophy, sharpening your methodology and approach. Good things to have!

Q: I love the idea of playing the piano
A: If you want to play classical repertoire: Chopin, Beethoven, Schubert etc. that demands a deeper commitment, and piano lessons would be your best answer. But if you just want to get going, this course may be the best way to start. You'll learn real piano skills that feel good under your fingers, and you can absolutely go on to lessons afterwards with a strong head start.

Q: Can I sign up another time?
A: It depends what you want. At the moment, it’s not an evergreen course (available all year round). It’s highly personalised—meaning much 1:1 attention, and therefore a limit on capacity. This is likely to be the last opening for 2025. In 2026, it may have a different shape and pricing.
