Piano/Keyboard Lessons

Piano Lessons:
I tailor my piano lessons to my students, and don't tend to work with method books. I prefer an individual approach, and use a lot of my own personally created teaching resources.
I teach skills such as:
Technique, form, theory, notation, chords and accompaniment.
I often teach nursery rhymes to beginners, or melodies of their favourite songs. I'm happy to simplify parts as needed, or keep them as complicated as they are, depending on skill level.
Happy to be flexible and thoughtful! Get in touch :)

Hey, I'm Hayden! I'm a friendly and patient piano/keyboard teacher with years of experience in the Canberra music industry. Teaching is a passion I've had since primary school.

I teach privately from home on my professional-grade digital keyboard (Kurzweil PC4) with weighted touch and high quality sounds.

I create a lot of teaching resources for my students which I provide throughout lessons. These include colourful, high quality diagrams of all major, minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor and pentatonic scales, and various types of chords.

I also create notated charts for many songs that I like to give to students to learn particular styles or concepts.
I'm happy to look at whatever songs someone wants to look at.

Although I can help with classical music, my expertise and personal taste lies more in jazz and contemporary styles.
I don't often teach from method books, as I like to tailor lessons individually to students.
