Lessons
I welcome students from the age of 4 through to adults, beginners and more experienced as well as those returning to their piano journey after taking a break.
Piano lessons may be taken at the studio, or I can arrange to come to your home during school hours. During any Covid-19 restrictions lessons will be available online via Zoom.
I have over 35 years' experience in providing motivating piano lessons, in a friendly, nurturing atmosphere, proudly assisting students in reaching their potential and achieving impressive exam results.
Fees for 2024
Lesson | Price | Earlybird |
|---|---|---|
20-minute (Pre-Schoolers)
| $38 | $35 |
30 Minute | $48 | $45 |
45 Minute | $68 | $65 |
60 Minute | $88 | $85 |
*Fees are payable in advance by the term in cash or by direct deposit - no cheques.
I suggest a minimum of 45 minutes per lesson so that the various elements important to a well-rounded and pedagogically sound musical education can be adequately covered.
Children under 7 years learn much better with 30 minute lessons taken twice a week, and an involved parent to help them practise between lessons.
Adults at any level will require a minimum of 45 minutes per lesson.

ABOUT
My Approach
I believe students of all ages should be given the opportunity to experience the joy of learning and playing music. I adapt my teaching style in response to the individual needs, learning styles and goals of my students.
Learn to play music in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where the focus is on enjoying your lesson, whether you are learning for personal pleasure or preparing for exams.
Music lessons include all aspects of musicianship, theory tuition, aural training and help to develop and enhance a rich set of benefits and attributes.
