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.

My Music Theory for All Levels course is designed to be flexible, meeting the needs of beginners and advanced learners alike. We can cover any and all elements of music theory, tailored to your current skills and goals. Beginners can start with the basics--intervals, rhythms, and tonality--while more experienced students can dive into advanced concepts like counterpoint, modulation, and extended techniques. We’ll use your prefered music and instruments (or voice!) to make the learning process relevant and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner, a performer looking to refine your knowledge, or a composer aiming for a deeper dive, this course is for everyone.

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.

Curragh
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. In my online lesson, I use several cameras from several angles to give the student the chance to see what I am doing. My lessons (Live and Online) are fun and very beneficial, and all my students showed fast progress

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessons
I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts. I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Łukasz
Online Piano Class - Private Piano Lesson in English
Hi! I am a piano teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. I specialize with online piano teaching and I choose individual program for each of my students. I teach all around the globe, mostly students from China and Canada. I grew up in musician family. My father plays viola in Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Poland and my mother teaches theory and history of music. I have two sisters who are also musicians. I like sport activities like climbing, cycling, hiking and long walks in the forest. I like Asian and Italian cuisine. My favourite meals are sushi, ramen, pizza and spaghetti pasta. If you want to listen how I play, here is a link to Gala Concert from Vancouver, Canada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B63AO5spDo Few words about my past music experiences: Originally from Poland, I studied in Katowice at Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music (2012-2017) in piano class of professors Anna Górecka and Zbigniew Raubo. Later I moved to Canada to continue my education with professor Lee Kum Sing at Vancouver Academy of Music (2017-2019). During my career I achieved numerous awards on many significant piano competitions. I have become platinum winner at Vancouver International Music Competition in 2017 which was held to celebrate 150th Canada’s birthday. I became Platinum Cash Prize Winner and achieved numerous extra prices. In October 2015 I accomplished the second round of XVII International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. This achievement is a promotion to the top 30 world best young pianists. I achieved 3rd place twice (2013, 2015) in the National Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland. In 2008, I won the first prize and the Special Award of Elżbieta Stefańska for the best performance of Johann Sebastian Bach piece at the 10th Ludwik Stefański and Halina Czerny-Stefańska Piano Competition in Płock, Poland. Two years later I received second price in the 16th Polish Piano Competition in Konin, Poland and I was awarded the third prize at the International Podkarpacki Chopin Competition held in Rzeszów, Poland. I have been awarded many scholarships, such as those sponsored by the Mayor of my hometown Katowice, the Marshal of Silesian Province and the Polish Prime Minister. I cooperated with Piotr Kler Foundation and recorded three solo CDs with Fryderyk Chopin's music. In 2014 I was the very first to receive a Krystian Zimerman Award for most talented young pianists.

CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ MODERN PIANO AND RHYTHM COMPLEXITY
The older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing. Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself". So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.

Sergio
Music History Lessons Tailored to All Needs and Interests
My teaching method is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of the subject we are working on (music theory, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.). The pace of learning is always set by the student, ensuring that each lesson aligns realistically with their goals and interests. Whether you’re looking for a more flexible, amateur approach — open to diverse content — or require a rigorous plan oriented toward exams, auditions, or academic improvement, I design a personalized educational pathway. My approach is rooted in a highly practical vision of learning, based on the educational model in which I was trained during my master’s degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). I understand teaching as a dynamic process where deep understanding takes precedence over rote memorization.
