SOME PATHWAYS & STYLES WE LOVE

• Piano For Leisure (AMEB) - play a broad range of music from popular songs, movie themes, & jazz, as well as a strong selection of well-loved Classical works.

• Rockschool Piano (AMEB) - contemporary: pop, funk, blues, gospel, etc.

• Piano (AMEB or Trinity) - repertoire designed for the aspiring classical pianist.

FOR BEGINNERS

• Way Cool Keyboarding - an innovative way to start your musical journey reading & playing cool piano music, learning chords step-by-step, & creating your own music.

• Rockschool Piano Method - a fun and interactive introduction to the piano with newly composed exercises, games & pieces, covering all aspects of traditional technique from a more accessible & engaging angle.

• P-Plate Piano (AMEB) - a bright series for beginner pianists which is excellent preparation for AMEB Piano.

MY APPROACH TO TEACHING

I believe music learning is best when it is:

• Driven by joy. Sure, it takes focused time at the piano, but the musical delight you get is the motivator.
• Incremental. New concepts are taught bit-by-bit.
• Constructive. Lessons are a time to get positive advice & inspiration to keep moving forward.
  "To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." - Beethoven.
