Oliver Warne-Holland began teaching himself piano during the first COVID-19 lockdown between March and October 2020, aged 12, using YouTube tutorials. He progressed rapidly by learning increasingly challenging pieces, including Chopin, which he memorised and played fluently—despite not being able to read standard notation properly. After lockdown, he had his first formal lesson with Andrew Yiangou, which inspired him to learn to read music.
Beginning with the John Thompson books, he took weekly 30-minute remote lessons, progressing quickly through the ABRSM grades. In May 2022, he passed ABRSM Grade 5 Theory with distinction and was already playing well beyond Grade 8 level. That same year, he was honoured to receive the Eileen Rowe Musical Trust Award, with Vanessa Latarche as the principal judge.

In July 2022, he took the ABRSM Grade 8 Performance exam and was awarded a distinction.
Reuben Moisey was awarded an ATCL diploma with Distinction at age 12 and joined the Royal College of
