What We Do
We help students of all ages, levels, and abilities achieve their musical goals.
We teach one-on-one piano lessons. We teach all our students theory and musicianship, music history, and piano literature. We believe a well-rounded musical education helps students succeed and stay engaged.
We also teach composition and improvisation to interested students.
We are accepting students in our Canberra studio.
We also teach piano lessons via Skype.
Our Teaching Philosophy
What makes us tick?
Giving students the skills and confidence to succeed in music and life
That breakthrough lesson when everything we've worked on for months finally comes together
Seeing our students' satisfaction at a job well done

Congratulations to our two lucky students Nina Zhang and Zachary Li for winning second prizes at the Henle International Piano Competition for categories 8-9 years old and 10-11 years old! The competition turned out to be very competitive with over 200 contestants worldwide for each category. Both of them had to learn new pieces in a short time before submitting them for the competition. They still have a lot to learn, but I am proud of their wonderful work ethic in completing a project under pressure!
