Yes, I have the Scottish equivalent: the Disclosure Scotland (enhanced) certificate.

My Grade 7 student Stefan McDermott was recently offered the music scholarships from both George Watson's College and George Herriot's School against fierce competition. Watson's was offering two scholarships, Heriot's only one.
My pupil Bridget Kelly gained her ATCL in piano performance last year.

All ages from 7 upwards, all levels up to and including diploma.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

- Do you have a personal message for students?
I believe the best relaxed technique should be taught from the very first lesson, not left until later on. And the true focus is always musical expression. If you're thinking only of placing the notes in order and passing an exam, the process can be very frustrating. Focusing on musical aspects gives you not only results, but enjoyment!
