F.A.Q. Piano Tuition
What days are piano / theory lessons available?
Lessons are available Monday through Friday afternoon-evenings, and Saturday mornings.
What method do you teach from?
Music is chosen in collaboration with students (and parents) to create a motivating and engaging learning environment. A range of materials such as the AMEB syllabuses (Leisure and Traditional) are utilised, along with music of composers and artists from classical to contemporary genres. With all styles, elements of reading and theory are incorporated so that the fundamentals are covered.
Do you teach theory?
It is recommended that all students study the early grades of Theory of Music in order to develop their note reading and writing skills, and to understand the signs and terms and historical context of pieces being learned. Students can be prepared for theory or musicianship levels up to AMEB grade 6.
Do you prepare students for exams?
Yes, students can be prepared for AMEB (Australian Music Exam Board) exams in both the Leisure and Traditional syllabus from Preliminary to Grade 7, and Theory of Music / Musicianship from grades 1- 6.
Do you offer tuition for adults?
You are never too old to start learning! Both beginning students and those with previous tuition are welcomed.
Do you take beginners?
Yes, beginners aged 4-8 years old are recommended to enquire about group classes in order to benefit from learning in a group, with opportunities to focus on aural development in a motivating and fun environment.
Do you offer group lessons?
Duo lessons are available for younger students (beginners and students with up to 3 years previous tuition). Please enquire for availability.
Can I take photos/videos of my child during class?
No - taking photos during class proves distracting for both the students and teacher. However you are welcome to take photos/videos of your child at concerts.
Do you run concerts?
Yes! Concerts are held at the end of each semester to encourage students to share their achievements in learning with others, and to be inspired by hearing new pieces. See the Photo & Video Gallery for pictures from previous concerts.
Do you offer trial lessons?
A complimentary 15 minute face-to-face meeting is required with students (and their parent) prior to confirming enrolment, which enables discussion and a mini-assessment of the current level to determine musical goals and materials.
Students are also welcome to book obligation-free single lessons for up to 4 lessons (fee per lesson applies) before committing to enrollment by the term, however please note current availabilities cannot be reserved if a committment is not made to the full term.
