Channel 4 · The Piano
Paul Murray featured on Channel 4’s The Piano
Founder and Director Paul Murray brought a story of musicianship, adaptation and artistic identity to a national audience on Channel 4.
Paul’s classical training and work as a specialist left-hand pianist have shaped a belief at the heart of GSofM: serious music education begins by recognising the individual. His appearance introduced one part of that story—and the values from which the wider school has grown.
