As a former examiner, both at grade and diploma levels, Philip has an excellent knowledge of syllabus requirements, and gives specific pre-examination coaching and masterclasses. As a consultant, he has been involved in syllabus setting for the Electronic Organ, as part of the Trinity Guildhall Keyboard Syllabus at Grade and Diploma levels.
Having retired from full-time schoolteaching, Philip now works in a private capacity with a limited number of students in Piano, Theory and General Musicianship, from Initial Grade up to Diploma Level, and enters them for examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and Trinity Guildhall. As well as Classical Piano, students also can study for the Jazz Examinations of the ABRSM, and those of Rockschool. Philip's fees reflect current EPTA (UK) guidelines. All lessons are given on Philip's Steinway Model M Grand Piano in his Plymouth (UK) studio, situated adjacent to the house.
