Bursaries for the Cert PTC and Advanced PTC
The Masayuki Tayama Bursary
PTC UK is supported by the PTC Trust, which means that we are sometimes able to offer bursaries covering a proportion of course fees to enable students to register who otherwise could not afford the full fees. Bursary applications must be made on or before 30th June 2026 for the Cert PTC or the Advanced Piano Teachers' Course.
In memory of our beloved friend Masayuki Tayama, who passed away in 2023, and with enormous gratitude to his family we are able to offer a bursary to honour his amazing legacy as a pianist, teacher and course director. We hope this bursary will enable gifted students to enrol on our courses who might otherwise be prevented due to financial constraints. Bursaries are only available to part fund the Cert PTC Course or Advanced Piano Teachers' Course. Please use the application forms in the links below.
Masa was a brilliant musician and pianist so as part of the application process you will be asked to send in a recording of your playing and successful applicants will be judged on merit as well as their personal circumstances. The closing date for the Masayuki Tayama Bursary Fund for 2026-2027 courses is 30th June 2026.
