STUDIO PROGRAMS
Piano Lessons for Youngsters
I think one of the best gifts to give your child is the opportunity to learn piano at an early age. This is important especially to parents with musical children as a good piano foundation will help them to easily learn other instrument with ease as they grow up.
Teaching music to young children is a highly specialised field, and it is important to recognise that not all piano teachers are well suited to this. Your child’s musical development will thrive under the guidance of a piano teacher with creative teaching methods, guaranteed to engage and inspire young minds, and make the piano fun and enjoyable.
Book piano lessons today. I encourage both parents to attend the first lesson. Holiday piano lessons are also available.
Piano Lessons for Adult Beginners
As an adult, choosing yourself and investing in the things that makes you happy is important. Learning piano is one of the highest stress busters and a very enjoyable self-expression exercise.
No matter what the style, level, or genre, piano lessons for adult beginners are very flexible, tailor made to suit your learning style and personal goals. I encourage students to take an active role in choosing repertoire and learning material. I understand that many adults work full-time and have busy lives. Stop procrastinating, get started today!

Music Exams
Graded Music Exam courses are available for international certification through ABRSM, a globally renowned exams and assessment body. Though not compulsory but I do encourage students to take music exams, especially young pianists, performing musicians, and those interested in building a music career.
Preparing for taking graded exams encourages learners to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding, something that provides a foundation for future musical learning and activities of all kinds.
Musician Mentorship Program
It takes more than talent to break into the music industry. Today’s musician needs to empower themselves with not only music performance skills but also music business and digital audio production skills. This is the most challenging and diverse program as I go beyond the piano to prepare the student to enter the music industry. A good music career begins with a clear vision, smart goal setting and progressive steps to achieve them. Sign-up if you want to pursue a career in music and are willing to work hard to become the musician you dream of becoming.
I prepare students to become exceptional musicians who can engage new audiences; teach anyone; and use their artistry to change lives in their communities. With extensive industry knowledge, I have mentored students who are now award winning industry players.
Ministry Music Training
Do you want to join your church band? Sign-up today to get started. Or perhaps a little burned out from playing in church week in week out? It’s time to upgrade your playing skills. I’m here to equip church musician with music literacy skills to enable them to learn and execute new songs apace and with with ease.
