    Piano Lessons for All Ages (including People Living with Disability & Neurological Conditions)

    Hi there! I am an English-speaking Piano Teacher and Registered Music Therapist from Australia.

    I completed my studies in piano at a university level and have twelve years of experience in helping students find enjoyment and confidence in playing their favorite songs on the piano. I teach people of all ages ranging from complete beginners to diploma levels.

    My six years working in Music Therapy have allowed me to extend my teaching services to people living with neurological conditions and disability using standard and adapted methods.

    I strive to provide lessons that are fun, engaging, and personalized, by accounting for different learning styles and preferences.

    In our lessons, we engage in a combination of improvisation, using sheet music or learning by ear, music composition, music theory, and technical work as it serves the student's goals and interests.

    Music is boundless and so are the piano lessons I offer.

    Please read about Music Therapy services on my profile and contact me with further inquiries.

    About Me

    Hi there!

    I am a Piano Teacher and Registered Music Therapist from Australia. Assisting people in attaining musical and non-musical goals and sharing joyful moments through music is one of my strongest passions.

    Past clients and students described me as an attentive, engaging, and personable teacher/clinician who gently extended them and often exceeded expectations.

    I also play guitar and produce music on Ableton and have a basic knowledge in a variety of other instruments.

    EDUCATION

    - Bachelor of Music Studies (majoring in Piano) | Sydney Conservatorium of Music |
    - Master of Creative Music Therapy | Western Sydney University |

    ACHIEVEMENTS

    - Australian Music Therapist of the Year | Finalist | 2022

    PROFESSIONAL VALUES & BELIEFS

    I strive to work collaboratively with people in my care through attuning and adapting to meet individual needs. I adopt a person-centred and strengths-based approach to empower people to thrive. Music is boundless and so are the sessions I offer.

    PIANO PEDAGOGY (In-Person)

    I have twelve years experience in helping students find enjoyment and confidence in playing their favourite songs on the piano. I teach people of all ages ranging from complete beginners to diploma levels.

    In our lessons, we engage in a combination of improvisation, using sheet music or learning by ear, music composition, music theory, and technical work as it serves the student's goals and interests.

    My practice as a Registered Music Therapist has allowed me to extend my teaching services to people living with neurological conditions and disability using standard and adapted methods.

    MUSIC THERAPY (In-Person & Online)

    In my six years of clinical practice as a Registered Music Therapist, I have supported people across the lifespan living with neurological conditions, Autism Spectrum disorder, disability, and palliative needs in group and individual contexts.

    I employ evidence-based techniques as singing, songwriting, instrumental play, and movement or exercise to music to assist people in reaching functional goals for wellness and increased quality of life. Such goals are derived from physical, cognitive, social, and psychological domains of health and well-being.

    Some of my strategies are underpinned by experience working in multi-disciplinary teams with physiotherapists and speech pathologists.

    I use validated assessments to track progress, where appropriate.

    You do not need previous musical experience to participate meaningfully in music therapy.

    ENGLISH TUTORING (In-Person & Online)

    I am a native speaker of English with a fascination for learning languages. I also speak Cantonese and am currently learning Spanish and German.

    As a learner of languages myself, I have insight into what works and what causes frustration. Textbooks will only be a bouncing board for the creation relevant learning materials that will enable integration into everyday life.

    Piano Lessons by Award Winning Film Music Composer
    I am an Award Winning Film Music Composer of Short and Feature Length films with distribution on platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Sky as well as official selection in over 40 International and Academy Award Qualifying Film Festivals, including Cannes, Hell’s Half Mile (Michigan, US), Los Angeles International Shorts, FilmQuest and Urbanworld (New York, US). My soundtracks are distributed on all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) and feature scores composed for electronics, Full Orchestra, small ensembles and genres like 20th Century Orchestral, Minimalism, Motown, Avant Garde, Musique Concrete and many more. As your piano tutor, I want to teach you how I learnt piano, and show you how to be creative with music, at the very least for enjoyment, but also for any professional aspirations into composition. I start by familiarising my students with the fundamentals of music at the piano, how the piano is structured, arpeggios, baselines, chord sequences, melody sequences, etc. We take these fundamentals and build sophistication of musicality with a dynamic curriculum. Lessons are structured by familiarising with musical concepts by a demonstration, playing together, and playing solo in a way that aims to be accessible and sensitive to the student’s sensibilities.

    Guitar Lessons - all ages and ability levels welcome!
    Hi everyone! My name is Curragh and I am a guitar teacher from the UK. Learning an instrument is hugely rewarding and a great investment, one that I believe is accessible to anyone. Perhaps you're intrigued by the guitar and want to give it a go... maybe you are a parent looking to relax for an hour and have fun or enrich your child’s development and give them a skill they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. I am a lifelong lover of music with a bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar from Leeds Conservatoire and a BTEC diploma with distinction in Music Practice. I have played in many different ensembles and have attended the Bath International Guitar Festival in the UK, on a scholarship. My teaching philosophy is that the ears are just as important to train as the hands and I integrate this into my lessons. It is also important to enjoy playing and feel excited by it, however, as this is the best motivator for students! It's how I learned after all... I am happy to teach absolute beginners through to advanced students, ages 7 and up. If you have a particular style of music you are interested in or some favorite songs you've always wanted to learn, we can cover them! If you are more advanced and want to bring your playing to the next level, I can coach you so you develop your unique 'voice' on the instrument and have a technique to burn.

    Piano Lessons for all ages and in different languages
    Hello! my name is Sarah. I have a certificate in Classical Piano Performance. I have years of experience in teaching music in different languages (Arabic, English, German and French). In 2020 I finished my master's in Music Therapy in Germany. At the end of my studies, I did my research on online music playing and wrote my thesis on music interaction through online platforms which gave me a great deal of experience when it comes to online teaching.

My lessons (Live and Online) are fun and very beneficial, and all my students showed fast progress

    Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
    Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

    Piano Lessons (Classical Music and Non classical), Music Theory, Harmony, Musical Arrangement, Composition
    At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!
