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.
I enrolled my son in piano lessons in Glenhaven, and the experience with this teacher has been exceptional. He was nervous at first, but the gentle and encouraging teaching style helped him settle in quickly. Each lesson is thoughtfully planned and keeps him engaged from start to finish. I love how the instructor explains techniques in ways kids easily understand. The progress he has made in such a short time is truly impressive. He now practices at home because he genuinely enjoys it. These lessons have given him confidence and a growing love for music, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
We started piano lessons in Glenhaven a few months ago, and it has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. The teacher is incredibly patient and creates a warm, positive environment for young learners. She always feels comfortable asking questions and gets clear guidance during every session. I appreciate how the lessons blend structure with fun activities that keep her motivated. The weekly practice notes make it easy for us to support her at home. I’m amazed by how quickly she is picking up new skills and building confidence. These lessons have become something she truly looks forward to each week.
My son has been attending these piano lessons in Glenhaven, and I’m very impressed with the instructor’s commitment to helping kids learn. The lessons are well-paced and perfectly suited for young beginners. He responds so well to the calm and friendly teaching approach. I appreciate how the teacher provides consistent feedback and celebrates even the small achievements. The combination of technique, music games, and encouragement keeps him excited to learn. He practices more at home now than ever before, which is a huge win. I highly recommend these piano lessons to any parent wanting a supportive and enjoyable learning experience for their child.
I believe in building strong fundamentals—technique, expression, and musicianship—from the very beginning. Our teaching approach combines classical training with an encouraging, personalised environment to help each student grow with confidence.
Whether your child is just starting out or preparing for formal exams, we’re here to support their journey every step of the way—with patience, passion, and professionalism.
01.
Most children are ready to begin piano lessons around 5 to 7 years old, once they can recognize letters and numbers. However, every child is different — we also offer early beginner lessons for younger children who show musical curiosity and focus.
02.
The Beginner Level introduces the basics — how to sit correctly, use the hands properly, and recognize simple notes and rhythms.
Once your child is comfortable, they move on to Grade 1–3, where they start learning scales, playing short classical and modern songs, and reading more complex music.
Grades 4 and 5 help students develop performance confidence and advanced techniques for exams and recitals.
03.
Yes! Our lessons follow the AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) syllabus, and we can also prepare students for Trinity or ABRSM exams. This gives children clear goals, structured progress, and recognition for their hard work.
04.
Lesson lengths depend on your child’s level and attention span:
Beginner Level: 30 minutes
Grades 1–3: 30 to 45 minutes
Grades 4–5: 45 to 60 minutes
Shorter sessions keep younger students focused while ensuring steady progress.
05.
Yes, regular practice is important. A keyboard with full-sized, weighted keys is a great starting option. As your child progresses, an acoustic piano is ideal. Our teachers can suggest affordable options for beginners.
06.
Every child learns at their own pace, but on average:
Beginner to Grade 1: 6–12 months
Grades 1–3: 1 year per grade
Grades 4–5: 12–18 months per grade
Progress depends on consistent lessons and practice habits at home.
07.
Consistency matters more than duration. We recommend:
Beginners: 10–15 minutes a day
Grades 1–3: 20–30 minutes a day
Grades 4–5: 30–45 minutes a day
Daily practice helps build muscle memory, confidence, and enjoyment.
