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.
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’m dedicated to providing quality piano instruction based on strong musical foundations. My goal is to help each student build confidence and skill at their own pace, no matter their level.
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.
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.
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.
