Classical Piano Lessons

Ages 5+ | Beginner to Advanced

What You'll Learn

Lesson Structure

Every lesson is individually tailored to your goals, level, and learning pace. You'll never experience "one-size-fits-all" teaching - each student receives a customized curriculum designed specifically for their needs.

For Beginner Students

Learn proper technique from the very first lesson. Building correct habits early prevents years of retraining later. Focus on hand position, posture, finger strength, and musical foundations that will support a lifetime of piano playing.

For Intermediate Students

Refine technique, expand repertoire, develop interpretation skills. Prepare for AMEB examinations or music competitions with structured, goal-oriented lessons.

For Advanced Students

Master complex repertoire, develop artistic interpretation, prepare for auditions or tertiary music studies. Work at a level that challenges and inspires.

AMEB Examination Preparation

Grades 1-8 | Performance & Theory

With 30+ years of exam preparation experience, Irina knows exactly what examiners look for and how to prepare students for success.

What's Included in Exam Preparation

Our Approach

Exam preparation isn't just about passing - it's about developing well-rounded musicianship. Students learn to analyze pieces, understand musical structure, interpret composer intentions, and perform with confidence under pressure.

These skills extend far beyond the exam room, building a foundation for lifelong musical enjoyment and understanding.

Typical Preparation Timeline

Students typically begin focused exam preparation 3-6 months before their exam date, depending on grade level and current ability. Term enrollment ensures adequate preparation time and consistent progress toward exam-ready performance.

Success Rate: Our students consistently achieve Honours and High Distinction results in AMEB examinations.
