Welcome to the Students and Young Professionals Area of EPTA UK.
EPTA UK recognises the importance of supporting aspiring teachers and musicians from beginning their studies to stepping into the working world. Whether you want to pursue a career in performance, start your own music school, are working towards a post-graduate research project or simply like to indulge in the enjoyment of piano playing, this is the hub for you.
EPTA UK Under 25s and Full Time Students membership provides all the same benefits (minus access to Bursary Funds) as our Full Professional package at a heavily discounted rate. Check out all your benefits here.
We recently created a Student and Young Professional committee, which is run for and by younger members of EPTA UK under the chairmanship of Adam Heron.
We are committed to welcoming younger teachers to EPTA and to offer support, training, advice, networking and opportunities to share research. If you are 35 or under and would like to become more engaged in EPTA, or just to receive information about webinars and other events that will be particularly relevant to you, then please sign up here. (https://forms.office.com/e/QEa0bVfVZ6) This is a great platform to contribute to events, share post-graduate research documents in print, via webinar, or at conference.
