Frank Zhu

I'm a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and teacher at Play at the Con and Avviare Music Academy. My private teaching, a leisurely 15-min walk from Castle Hill Station, is open to students from kindy to adult, beginner to Licentiate candidates.

I've had the privilege of studying under Natalia Ricci and Estelle Shields, and learning alongside numerous talented friends. With their support, I've reached the finals of the Conservatorium's concerto competition, received the George Henderson Scholarship, and participated at the XI International Summer Piano Academy in Disentis, Switzerland.

My bachelor's degree culminated in a solo recital (Chopin's Op. 28 Preludes) and a two-piano recital (Ravel's G major Piano Concerto). My solo recital was recognised, via the Winifred Margaret Neirous Award, as one of the best by a final-year undergraduate pianist. Both performances are available to watch on my YouTube channel.

My teaching draws upon a myriad of technical, musical and philosophical insights gleaned during my studies. With every one of my students, I strive to make them feel supported, and to help them develop a natural technique and a love of music-making.

Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a trial lesson. Thanks for stopping by!
