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 40 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 2025
Lesson | Price | Earlybird |

20-minute (Pre-Schoolers)

45 Minute | $70 | $67 |
60 Minute | $90 | $87 |
*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.
