About Me

Hello, my name is Sophia. I have over a decade of experience studying piano and have completed the Certificate of Performance. I am currently preparing for my Associate Diploma (AMusA). My training has been shaped by several teachers from the Soviet piano tradition, which has provided me with a strong technical foundation and a deep commitment to expressive, nuanced playing.

I offer private piano lessons for children from beginner level through to Grade 5. Based in the Hills area, I’m available to travel to your home for lessons, providing a convenient and comfortable learning environment. My teaching approach is supportive and structured, aimed at fostering both technical confidence and a genuine love for music.

Our Vision

At the heart of our teaching is a simple belief: that every child has the potential to experience the joy of music and grow through it—both artistically and personally. My vision is to nurture confident, expressive, and well-rounded young musicians by providing a strong technical foundation, meaningful musical experiences, and a supportive learning environment.

I believe music is for everyone. My lessons are welcoming and flexible, ensuring that each student—regardless of background or ability—has the chance to learn and grow.

Innovation in Learning:

Though rooted in classical methods, I try to keep things fresh and fun. I use creative approaches and modern tools to make lessons engaging and help students stay motivated and inspired.

Cultivating Passion and Discipline:

I want to foster a love for music while teaching the importance of dedication and practice. Through patience and encouragement, I help students balance creativity with consistent effort.
