My son, Chase (11) started Piano lessons with Beverley last year at her studio in Terrigal. Her teaching skills are on point. Beverley built a lovely rapport with Chase from day one, guiding him with the right balance of firmness, encouragement, kindness and praise. Beverley has a keen sense of attention to detail and guides Chase until he understands the piece of music they are working on.
Every lesson is productive and it’s been fantastic to see the progress he has made each week.

Our eight-year-old daughter Ellie has been having piano lessons from Beverley for just over 12 months. Having had no previous music experience, she can now play the piano, and read music. Whilst this result was expected, what has come as a pleasant surprise and as a result of Beverley’s skill set and personality, are the added bonuses. Lessons from Beverley are more than just piano lessons. She is a teacher of language, art, mathematics, communication, etiquette, and coordination of mind and body.

Beverley is a wonderful piano teacher, and we are very pleased with our daughter’s progress under her guidance. She has loads of enthusiasm for music and the piano, and she has passed this enthusiasm on to our daughter. The lessons are well-organised and productive. Beverley's teaching approach has lots of variety and fun, progressing our daughter’s proficiency in a way that maintains interest and motivation. Beverley pays close attention to teaching technique and theory so that we’ve been impressed by our daughter’s progress.

I love everything about my piano lessons with Ms Haley.  When I get new pieces, I try my very best to learn those pieces and then the next week I perform it to Ms Haley. I love how Ms Haley lets me take a peek over the next page and lets me try to learn that piece on my own. I also love when I make a mistake, Mrs Haley corrects me and I learn from that mistake. At the end of the year, Ms Haley puts on a Christmas concert, where we perform some of our favorite pieces and students receive a certificate and a medal or a trophy.

I have been having lessons with Beverley for almost a year. In this time I have learnt so much from my piano lessons with her. The way the lessons are structured, the knowledge, dedication and how friendly Beverley is has kept me interested and has inspired me to be a better piano player.
- Stevie-Lee, young adult student
I have been having lessons with Miss Haley for approximately a year and enjoyed every lesson she has taught me. I am very pleased with how much I have progressed in the past year. Miss Haley is a fabulous piano teacher. I am very excited for the piano concert and can’t wait until the next lesson.
- Scarlett, student (10)
My daughter Scarlett has been learning to play the piano with Beverley for almost a year. Scarlett is always happy to go to her lesson and to practice at home.The lessons are taught at just the right level for her to find enjoyable and challenging but never overwhelming. Scarlett was very pleased to receive her trophy and certificate at the end of last year. Scarlett enjoys playing the piano and wants to learn to improve. She likes playing for us at home and is proud to be able to play a number of songs properly. She is looking forward to her first concert where her family will be able to see how much she has learned. We are all very happy with Scarlett’s progress and it’s exciting to see where the piano lessons will take her!

Beverley is an amazing pianist, teacher and person. She is very thorough in her teaching and is an excellent mentor for children of all abilities. Having a son with additional needs she is always gentle in her approach to guide and teach him, in a way he understands. 

Beverley teaches to the upmost standard that a student of any level requires to efficiently learn to play, and is very particular in the method that she teaches, thus ensuring that students have the correct methods, understanding and knowledge of music and practicality when it comes to the Piano. Thank you Beverley, you are amazing and we love you!

I have been learning piano with Bev now for two years and have progressed immensely in this time.  As an adult learner with no musical background, I took up piano as a way to focus my mind on other aspects of life, rather than simply work. My lack of musical training has not been a problem, as with Bev, I have learnt both theoretical and practical elements. I have been able to play a mix of music that is both for pleasure and performance. I am now confident in my playing and will be attempting exams later this year. I have found Bev to be incredibly informative and patient, and without her, would certainly not have progressed so far.
- Stacey, young adult student
I recommend Bev to you as a capable, astute teacher who tailors her teaching to the child. My son Tom is a lively boy somewhat easily distracted. Bev keeps him focused and learning rather than just going through the motions of teaching. This quality of understanding the needs and learning style of a child is a quality Bev obviously has. My daughter Susan is much quieter and sometimes a bit dreamy and Bev readily motivates her and keeps her interested. I have observed this over a period of years with my own children and have recommended Bev to other parents whom I know have also been happy with her teaching styles and methods.
- Lisa Graham, parent
I love playing duets with my teacher they are such fun! I really hope she has a concert again next year. It was quite scary to begin with but then I forgot to be nervous and felt so proud playing in front of my family!
- Millie, student (8)
Ms Haley is always encouraging and positive, never giving up. She always has something new to show me, knowing I'll like it. She always focuses on weak spots and helps me until I get it right. She's an awesome teacher.
