Piano Lessons Hey there! Can I make a CRAZY CLAIM that you can hold me to? And If it doesn't hold true, I'll QUIT TEACHING here. Woah. Really. See, I'm betting that no matter what you want from this incredible instrument, I've either done it myself or helped someone else do it through insight (and contacts) you'd only get from a current industry pro, taught in a way you'd only get from a fully qualified educator. So here's my CRAZY CLAIM that I'll quit over:

I know how to achieve all your piano goals. No matter what they are.
(Look, within reason, I can't help you play on Mars. The Opera House though...)

Whether you're trying to WOW Booking Agents (I might know them), Record Labels (I might have produced for them), Fans and Audiences (I can get you those), Examiners and Auditioners (might have been me) Friends and Family (I hope to be one!) or even just YOURSELF...

If you do everything I say, and you DON'T ace your audition, demo, exam, performance, the pieces of your dreams... I WILL straight up quit teaching here. That's how confident I am, not just in me, but in YOU! That's my crazy claim. Many have put it to the test, none have failed.

And if you DON'T do everything I say... well, nothing really. We still have a great time.
I get that life is crazy, you're paying me, I work for you, I'm not your boss. I won't get impatient if you can't practise as much as we'd like. Or even at all. I'VE BEEN THERE. Oh hang on...

Maybe that's not what you wanted to hear, maybe you're looking for a drill sergeant or personal trainer to yell at you. Or at your rebellious child. I can do that too (though not without a smile on my face, I can't lose that sorry) but I do hold to the philosophy that INTEREST is KING. If you're interested, you'll practise more. You'll practise better. You'll pick things up faster. Interest is where my teaching philosophy begins.

Yeah, technique is important, and boy am I fascinated by the fine biomechanics of piano playing. Musicianship is important, and I'm more than happy to wax lyrical of its intricacies. But at the heart of the psychology behind successful musicians- INTEREST is KING, and I aim to be king of developing and maintaining interest. And that's why I GUARANTEE that:

-If it's not what you want to learn, we don't do it.
-If it's boring, and you want to stop doing it, say the word and we do something else. Immediately.
-You want to learn a specific piece/song, we learn it...

Too difficult? No such thing, we do what it takes to get you there fast.
Sheet music doesn't exist? It does now, I'll transcribe and arrange it for you.
Don't like sheet music? No problem. We learn by ear.
Can't learn things by ear? Not true. You haven't had the right teacher.

So what are you waiting for? Get in touch and let's kick those piano goals together!

P.S
Never learnt piano before? Absolute beginner? No musical background?
I reckon I can get you playing Fur Elise (the main theme) after ONE lesson. Don't believe me? Challenge accepted.

Piano Lessons Depending on whether you are an absolute beginner, self-taught as a beginner, transitioning from another teacher or returning to lessons as an adult, I base my instruction on your musical goals and your music experiences. While your goals will inform what I teach you and how, your goal will also motivate you to engage during lessons and inspire you to practice new skills between lessons.

I use a mixed method approach to teach you how to accommodate your hand-eye-ear coordination to achieve making music you enjoy. However, my own goal is to further extend your learning to embrace the full spectrum of music genres and music literacy, challenging your own preconceptions or limitations you think you may have.

My enrolment process, or pre-teaching assessment which includes a brief questionnaire before you sign up, and a complimentary virtual ‘meet & greet’ once you've signed up but before your first lesson, seeks to know and understand you and your music interests, experiences and goals, so that I can begin creating a learning programme catered specifically for you, right from the first lesson.

For all students, I recommend an initial commitment of 5 weekly, 30-minute lessons, so that I can implement and adjust your individually-catered learning programme to suit your needs.

If you already have some piano experience OR your are a later elementary / intermediate student OR you would like to progress more rapidly, I recommend extending to weekly, 45-minute lessons. If your schedule is tight OR you are in the later / intermediate levels, fortnightly 1-hour lessons can replace weekly lessons. Lessons are available during school holidays.

My goal is to support you to achieve your music aspirations, and to help you find effective ways to explore and rehearse new skills at home, even on a tight schedule. Ultimately you determine your own progress, achievements and learning goals while I customise and adapt music teaching resources and pedagogies to suit your unique musical personality.

‘Keyboard for singing’ skills, can be incorporated into your lessons, once you have a grasp of beginner piano and the fundamentals of music literacy.

Please be aware that while I provide your initial sheet music and digital learning materials, you will need to purchase your own printed and/or digital method books down the track.

You will need an acoustic piano or full-length, weighted keyboard with sustain pedal for these lessons.
