FAQs
What ages do you teach?
As an teacher or coach I work with students of all ages. Whether you are enquiring for a young student or are a retiree looking to finally tick off your bucket list, I would be more than happy to meet you.
What kind of piano do I need?
If you are looking to learn piano, I highly advise you buy a keyboard, digital or acoustic piano. If you buy a keyboard, it would be best to find one that has at least 76 weighted keys. If your piano interest is more circumstantial or music theory-based, unweighted keys and a smaller number of keys (down to 49) may potentially be fine as you learn the basics.
Do I need to practise?
Focussed practice is integral to improvement in any new skill. The appropriate amount of practice for your level will be discussed in the lesson.
Do you work with beginners/advanced students?
I regularly work with students and musicians of all levels in different capacities. Get in touch to let me know your specific situation and I’d be happy to give you more detail!
Should I do exams?
For some students, exams can be a great way of measuring progress, but for others they are an unnecessary stress. For those who want to do them, I often put students through AMEB and ANZCA exams.
Do you take casual lessons?
I always offer casual lessons for those who are unable to commit regularly or are in need of only several casual lessons. Let me know when you get in touch that that’s what you’re looking for..
