    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.

    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 in Berlin by a german native speaker
    (German version further down/Deutsche Version weiter unten) I enjoy teaching because it requires a deeper knowledge of the material than if one is only performing music. I am continuously learning too. I do not think that it is important how old you are or in what environment you grew up. To engage with music as a result of learning an instrument can bring your brain in a healthy state of ongoing change. People that are "without any talent" for music do not exist. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it. I can teach Piano: - involving sheet music or not, depending on what you prefer. - or/and Music theory lessons - or/and Improvisation - or/and Jazz - or/and Ear Training - or/and Composition. The lessons can be held in English or German or a mixture of both. I teach close to Friedrichstraße in Berlin. The lessons can be done via Skype too. You can read about me as a performing musician here: Julius (*1995) is a German pianist and composer, graduated from the University of Arts Berne in Switzerland in 2017 with honors. In July 2019 he finished his Masters in the European Jazz Masters Programme through the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen with exchange semesters in Berlin and Amsterdam. Throughout his studies, he was lucky enough to receive artistic guidance by Colin Vallon, Django Bates, Harmen Fraanje, Simon Toldam, Peter Bruun, Greg Cohen, and Michael Moore. Julius was granted a scholarship by Lyra Stiftung Zürich in 2015 and 2016. Tours with his own bands have been supported by different fundings from Switzerland and Germany. He performed all across Europe during the past years. German/Deutsch: Beim Unterrichten ist es notwendig alles tiefer zu beherrschen als wenn man „nur“ Musik macht. Ich lerne stets auch als Lehrer dazu. Es ist irrelevant wie alt Sie sind oder in welcher musikarmen oder musikreichen Umgebung Sie aufwuchsen. Sich mit Musik zu beschäftigen kann unser Gehirn in einen gesunden Zustand von andauernder Veränderung und Wachstum bringen. Menschen die „talentfrei“ im Bezug auf Musik sind, gibt es nicht. Jeder kann sich mit Musik und sich daran erfreuen. Ich gebe Unterricht mit oder ohne Noten, abhängig davon was Sie bevorzugen. Bei Interesse unterrichte auch Musiktheorie, Improvisation, Jazz, Gehörbildung und Komposition. Der Unterricht findet auf deutsch oder englisch oder einer Mischung aus beidem statt. Ich unterrichte in der Nähe der Friedrichstraße in Berlin. Der Unterricht kann auch über Skype stattfinden. Hier gibt es einen Einblick in mein musikalisches Schaffen: Julius (*1995) ist ein deutscher Pianist und Komponist der in den Bereichen Jazz und improvisierte Musik arbeitet. Er schloss 2017 seinen Bachelor an der Hochschule der Künste Bern mit dem Prädikat sehr gut ab. Im Juli 2019 schloss er den European Jazz Masters am Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Kopenhagen, mit Austauschsemestern am Jazz Institut Berlin und dem Conservatorium van Amsterdam, ab. In 2015 und ’16 war er Stipendiat der Lyra Stiftung Zürich. Touren seiner Bands wurden in den letzten Jahren regelmäßig von deutschen und schweizerischen Stiftungen unterstützt. Julius spielte in den letzten Jahren Konzerte in ganz Europa.

    Sarah
    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.

    Carla Maria Beneit
    MUSIC FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS with a qualified person
    Many people are passionate about music, but have they ever studied it in their lives? With this course I offer music theory, transverse and recorder classes for all levels, from the youngest to the oldest. The course can be adapted to each student and their preferences when it comes to learning. From getting to know the history of music a little better, learning to read sheet music, learning more about harmony, analyzing compositions or learning a new instrument. These are some of the options but I am always open to students and their preferences.

    Fast progress piano lessons with the effective Russian method
    Welcome to my online Piano Class. I will happily help you achieve your musical goals, from the basic fundamentals of piano playing (reading music, positioning your hands on the keys) to building a wonderful sound and technique, allowing you to play anything you wish, from simple melodies to the renown classical piano repertoire of any era. The 30 mins lesson option is just for the new students, so we can meet, discuss, see what you need (level, scores, etc) and, of, course, start to play! I respect every student, I listen to any concerns and I am always happy and creative in helping everyone to get into music. My greatest happiness is to watch my students overcome any limit or freight and expand in full potential! On Sept 1st 2024 three of my awarded students were invited to perform at The DiMenna Classical Center of Music in Manhattan! I wish I can always bring such great opportunities and successes to all of my students!

    Cheslava
    Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
    From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

    GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
    The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️
