Piano lessons

One-on-one piano lessons in a purpose built, acoustically treated room, from a first scale to AMEB grades.

From
$45 to $85
Takes
30, 45 or 60 minutes, weekly across a 10 week term

The piano room is the first shot of the first film: a single grand piano, timber acoustic panelling and a stool set to the student's height before they sit down. Anna teaches most of the piano load herself and takes every new student through the same first term regardless of age, posture and hand shape before repertoire, because a habit fixed in week two is a lot cheaper than one unpicked in year three. Lessons run thirty, forty five or sixty minutes, booked in the same weekly slot for the term so the room and the teacher are never a surprise.

What is included

  • Same weekly time slot with the same teacher for the whole term
  • Use of the piano room's own instrument, tuned twice a year
  • A written note home after the first lesson on posture, hand shape and what to practise
  • AMEB syllabus teaching available from grade one onward
  • A folder of the term's set pieces and scales

03Asked often

Before you book

Not here? It might be on the FAQ page, and if not, ring and ask.

Does my child need a piano at home?

A keyboard with weighted or semi weighted keys is enough for the first year or two. We hire keyboards by the term if you would rather try lessons before buying anything.

Can an adult start piano from scratch?

Yes, and it is a fairly common Tuesday afternoon booking. Adults get the same first term on posture and hand shape as everyone else, just at a pace that suits an adult schedule.

How often is the piano tuned?

Twice a year, in January before term one and again mid year. If a key sticks in between, tell Anna and we will get it looked at.
