Piano with Trish offers piano instruction, specializing in a unique approach to music education called "Music Moves for Piano." Trish Boril brings extensive experience – over 40 years in the music industry – to her teaching, focusing on developing musicality and musicianship skills rather than solely relying on reading music. She caters to students of all ages, from 4 years old upwards, and incorporates harp instruction alongside piano lessons. Trish’s piano lessons are distinguished by her ‘Music Moves for Piano’ method, which prioritizes audiation (thinking in music) and musicianship skills before focusing on reading music. This method utilizes resources like Music Moves for Piano Keyboard Games A & B, Piano Safari, and Penelope Roskell Technique books. She emphasizes developing a ‘musical mind’ and ‘musical body’ through active listening, thinking musically, and making music, rejecting the notion of innate ‘talent.’ Her approach is particularly beneficial for students with ADHD or ASC, as the routine and predictability can be highly supportive. She has over 40 years of experience in the music industry, including playing weddings and special events since she was 9 years old. She began taking piano lessons at age 7, practicing on an old upright piano in her garage. Trish’s musical journey began with singing on her mother’s knee and a lifelong engagement with music through listening, performing, and singing with others. Trish is an active member and Trustee of several organizations, including the British Kodály Academy, the Gordon Institute for Music Learning, the Incorporated Society of Musicians, The Curious Piano Teachers, and TopMusic.
