One-on-One Private Piano Tuition

For Ages 4 – Adult

We find that one on one private tuition works the best in providing results. These type of lessons are tailored to each student and allow for their individual needs to be nurtured and understood. This means that they can be taught in a way that they respond to best.

Before enrolment, a piano teacher will conduct a one on one interview with the new student to understand ability levels and gauge if they are at the right stage to be taught in a way that will provide optimum results. This interview also provides an insight into what the student-teacher dynamic will be like.

Because no two students are the same, no two lessons or teaching styles should be. Each lesson is personally tailored to each student in order to maximise learning potential. Students have access to a wide range of materials, so that they can develop their own, personal piano repertoire and syllabus that is perfect for them.

Musicianship/Theory Classes

For Ages 6 – 17

These classes are set to a Conservatorium standard. They provide a full spectrum of music education as one study in any Conservatorium around the world. The class syllabus includes Music Theory, Aural Training, Music history & Music Appreciation There is simply not enough time in a weekly half an hour lesson to cover the wide world of musicianship. With this limited time frame it can become very difficult to develop the skills needed to become a skilful and well-rounded musician.

Musicianship classes provide the contextual framework for which your child’s normal piano lessons work around. These classes expand beyond normal piano lessons and delve into deeper ideas, such as why music is written and structured the way it is, what were the stories of famous composers and what were their lives like? How did that influence not only the music that they wrote, but also the composers they had around them at the time.

Armed with this knowledge everything will start to click together, and suddenly every single note, rest, key signature and every other aspect of a piece of music will mean so much more. This knowledge is invaluable to the development of a well-rounded and excellent musician.
