Festival Awards and Prizes

Music Festivals take place in and around London during the year, but especially in Spring.

Most Festivals include competitions in which participants play in front of an audience and/or adjudicating Committee. Depending on their performance, the participants will receive an award

We think Festivals offer a great opportunity for students to play in public and in a new context with their instrument, (in the case of playing piano). This clearly helps them to gain confidence for exams and for their development as individuals. To listen to other students and players is a source of inspiration and motivation.
