F.A.Q. Piano Tuition
What days are piano / theory lessons available?
Lessons are available Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, and all day Saturday at the Kew East studio and Wednesday afternoons at the Essendon studio.
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.
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 6, 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?
