Best Adult Piano Lessons Sydney Near Me

Cindy Chen: Ellen is a fantastic piano teacher and musician. She genuinely cares for her students and she is knowledgeable, gifted, encouraging, very patient and kind.

Haiyun LIU: Good teacher

Oyster Guy Michael (MICHAEL): The worst piano school that I have ever seen! They will not inform you when they wants to change teachers for your kid! Don't forget to ask for invoice, they never issue any invoice, they will use the course schedule or class record as the invoice when you ask! Already report to ATO! So everyone please make sure what you get is the invoice with ABN on it! Otherwise please report to ATO! I asked for invoice for several times, they just ignore that!

Jane Su: Master Piano is the place where they nurture the kids to realise their musical dreams. I always felt my daughter luckiest to study here. All the teachers here are encouraging and passionate about music/instruments. The school also had amazing aural classes as well as popular music salons for performing. Yearly concerts are well organized and it’s the place for the kids to shine. My kids loved the school. Going to master piano is what they are looking forward to do during the weekend. I liked the teachers saying every child will be able to find their musical dreams if we were there to help them. That’s exactly my daughter felt. Thanks for all the help !

Isabelle Richard: I am very pleased with my teacher yichao

Cristiano Morgan: The teacher was very patient, accommodating and adapted the lessons to my learning pace.

Thalia Smith: I never thought I was going to like piano lessons so much! I received my first lesson as a gift from my boyfriend. That was the beginning of the story, now I can't stop playing.

Dedrik Makmur: VERY ARROGANT AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!INSTEAD OF GIVING SOLUTIONS & HELP TO CUSTOMER, THEY JUST IGNORED THE CUSTOMER & MAKING EXCUSES. YOU WON'T GET A CHANCE FOR DISCUSSION. THEY EVEN LIE JUST TO PUSH YOU OUT.0 STAR. HORRIBLE

Aleks K: Pros: good location, skilled piano teacher & reasonable instruments/facilities. Good for younger students who need consistent lessons/piano exams.Cons: the organisation/school is very inflexible. Focused on $ instead of students. Very quick to keep your money if you aren't able to make the lesson. Disconnect between the teacher and the school/business. Not a good fit for adult piano students.I bought a package of 5 piano lessons (paid all in advance). There were a couple of times it would have been convenient to change a different time or day due to work/personal circumstances. The school advised I'd lose the lesson if I didn't show up instead of trying to organise a different day/time.When I also asked to have one of my piano lessons a month later, they questioned why - I was surprised by this response, as I already paid my lessons in advance so I shouldn't even need to provide a reason. I also made it clear to both the school and the teacher, that I am taking piano lessons for leisure/self improvement, and not for piano exams/music career (with this information, they said yes I am a suitable student). It's clear the school just wanted me to finish the package asap and try to get more money out of me.I've had piano lessons with several teachers/schools in the past and are more than accomodating when work/personal circumstances arise (which is completely normal?!). I understand businesses have their own cancellation policies, however, I paid my lessons in advance and would expect some level of flexibility, especially if I am simply requesting to change/reschedule and not cancel. To change a lesson or time, even with sufficient notice (call in morning when lesson is in evening) and to immediately advise cancellation instead of trying to reschedule, is beyond appalling and only shows they care about taking your money.If it wasn't for the poor/inflexible organisation of the school, I'd most likely still be there having lessons.Recommendation for school:1) make your policies clear for rescheduling lessons. Cancellation and rescheduling are not the same.2) don't advertise yourself as a school for adults unless you'd like more people to complain. Most adults work 40+ hour week and need the flexibility and your school is not flexible. Stick to advertising for children only.

Wm Jeppesen: I've been enjoying my lessons tremendously and feel like my teacher really cares about his job, me as a student, and loves music and his instrument in general.

Tristan Poarch: Master Piano Institute helped me perfectly to get back to it, and boost my motivation towards music and the instrument.

Gaskill Toby: I had a great experience learning piano with Yichao

Mitchell Lamb: I have looked for stability for my child piano lessons for years. Master Piano Institute is the only school which did not change our teacher periodically and offered us quality piano tuition.

Della George: Yichao is an excellent teacher with a seemingly infinite knowledge of piano playing and music theory.

huit rdesty: Professional, responsive, and moreover they have great teachers!

Bailey Dovens: The teacher was terrific! Great experience overall!

Holly Chaplin: Great practice rooms. Clean, the pianos are well taken care of. The acoustic was great for my loud repertoire.I highly recommend it for musicians looking for a practice spot. Wonderful experience.

Phoebe: Our boy has been learning violin there for more than 6 months. One of the violin teacher talked unreasonably hard emotion words. She obviously doesn’t like kids and no patience at all. She took her child in the room to see YouTube with noise during my son learning. Is it fair to say focus problem? Double standard. It is not professional. During last more than 10 sessions, I sat in the room, We respected teacher, even sometimes raise her voice suddenly… last session she abused my son to say (u won’t find a job in the future). How’s horrible teacher like this? That’s why it’s enough to stop see this teacher. We communicated with front desk staff, she is heartless. I learnt piano at least 8 years when I was child. I know what’s the teacher likes. I never met this kind of teacher b4. Wrong teacher wrong match, the receptionist who said is manager one doesn’t care parents feeling…. 8 Aug 222) Sorry once is enough. I really don’t need your explanation to the public here. Your front desk manager ignored me…..I understand running a music business is not easy, but your PR came a bit late. Why did you deleted our previous conversations⋯⋯I was a piano teacher over 5 years before, I know what a music teacher is like, and I respected my previous piano teachers very much.I did not see you in the music room….besides your violin teacher’s daughter, I was the one sitting in the room with the violin teacher and my son over 10 times as I previously mentioned. My son was behaved under my close supervision, there was no disrespect. Why a blink of tired eyes in the late afternoon would deserve loud voice emotional humiliation words from your violin teacher serval times? My 9 years old boy and I were very shocked….I hate to waste my time typing complain message. It is my first time.Running a music business is not only about music.10 Aug 22

Here Comes The Sun: THINK TWICE before you enrol.One violin teacher allowed her daughter watching youtube with noise in the same music room while teaching; at the same time, expecting learner to focus, discouraging learner by judging learner emotionally in front of learner’s parent.Both learner and the parent got scarred for life from the emotional abuse experienced at this school.There to learn. Not to receive overreacting negative words regardless learner’s ability to learn. Respect and equality, not just for money.

Izabella Wegmann: My first class was awesome! Shane is such a great teacher. He is super patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend it! :)

Anja primorac: One of the BEST! Some people don’t understand that their child isn’t the best at focusing and can use it to their advantage so the parents choose to talk bad abt the teacher instead… Meanwhile every other customer likes that teacher .. lol. One of the best music schools in Sydney with the nicest teachers ever !

Mitzie G: Great studio and teachers.

Samara Clerc: Zuzana is one of those remarkable piano teachers one can only hope to find and entrust with guiding a music journey. We were incredibly fortunate that Zuzana recognised in our son his genuine love for classical music and unwavering commitment to become a skilled musician.Zuzana’s inspiring enthusiasm and nurturing approach ensured that Orlando enjoyed playing piano while also achieving outstanding AMEB piano and musicianship results, most recently for Piano Grade 8. (He has in addition to this, just completed HSC Music 2 and Music Extension performance examinations in piano and is currently working with Zuzana on repertoire to attain AMus accreditation next year).We are truly thankful to Zuzana for the wonderful guidance and the continued friendship she has provided to Orlando, now a very skilled and passionate pianist who plans to teach others to play one day.

Yun Li: Zuzana is an awesome teacher and has demonstrated her professionalism in many ways, big and small, from choosing the most suitable learning materials which helped me to lay a solid foundation, to pieces that are interesting while also challenging enough so I'm never bored. Her lessons are filled with helpful chats (and laughter!) and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn piano, especially adult students.

Niki Tehrani: I used to play the piano as a kid but stopped playing for a really long time. I had difficulty finding the right mentor to give me back what i lost from not playing the piano until I met Zuzana. I would like to thank her a million times for not just being the best piano teacher and mentor, but also for teaching us how to play professionally with passion and love, giving us the chance to meet incredible piano players and have fun all at the same time . I enjoy every single lesson with her trying not to even skip one! Every single time we work on a new piece i discover a new part in myself by playing lots of rewarded pieces. Thanks Zuz for giving us this opportunity. The last recent event I preformed it gave me the confidence and courage and motivation to upgrade my skills and play infront of everyone.It gives me the courage to play infront of other people and play even better infront of Zuzana herselfxx im so proud of myself!!

Andy Williams: As an almost complete beginner I started piano lessons with Zuzana just before Covid 19 struck. I didn't know quite what to expect, but I was so glad I took the plunge.Zuzana is a wonderful teacher, with a fun and thoughtful take on life and lessons, and always clear guidance on what to do next to keep moving forwards.Zuzana inspires me to find an extra purpose to that time "working from home", (and there's no excuse not to practice) and her studio provides an oasis of calm in what is a unusual year. Thank you Zuzana!

Concierge Team: I am a mature age student(64 years) so approached my first lesson with some trepidation,, instead I was put immediately at ease and my lessons have now become inspirational,educational, medicinal, and even better,,, unequivocal fun all thanks to Zuzana.You will never ever leave Zuzana"s studio without another layer being added to your musical journey in a caring, friendly and generous way.If you want your piano playing to TAKE OFF and start feeling a whole lot better about yourself and the people around you?Then you have to start here with ZuzanaPAUL K (Double Bay)

Ben Scarf: Zuzana. Elite piano teacher. Imaginative problem solver. Community contributor. Zuzana has create a small, thriving piano community with small recitals and warm interaction between like-minded music lovers. She makes learning the piano for the older beginners a true adventure.Best of luck to all who have a sense of bravery and take the plunge.Zuzana will help make your journey fun.Andrew Scarf. Coogee.

Kathleen Matthews: Zuzana is an inspiring teacher who has given me much help with technical issues related to my piano playing.She has helped me to fix numerous problems related to my technique and helped me re- discover my love of music.

Lauren Horwood: I started lessons with Zuzana over a year ago. I have been exploring different styles from classical, to jazz and have improved my sight-reading skills, technique and ability to express myself through music. I see how much I progress with my learning, under her guidance. She is an encouraging and inspiring teacher who I would highly recommend.

Harvey Green: As a retired 67 year old male, I thought I’d try my hand at something musical for a change.Try to develop the other side of my brain, and do something a bit more artistic and creative.A far cry from the work, business, sport and exercise that has consumed my life so far.A few months ago, and as a total beginner, I had my first piano lesson with Zuzana.How lucky was I to find her.Zuzana is wonderful. She is a great teacher and very personable, especially needed for us more mature types.She has a great sense of humour and fun, and is incredibly supportive, as I muddle through the notes. I’ve learnt a lot in the short time with her.I highly recommend Zuzana for someone who is looking for an encouraging, and non judgemental teacher, who will support you, as you simply “give it a go”.

Dasha Gaivoronski: I used to play piano as a kid and haven't touched the instrument for almost 20 years. Zuzana made me rediscover the passion for music again, not only she is the incredible teacher she is also a very caring gentle person who knows how to make lessons effortless, fun yet impactful. I'm always leaving with a feeling of a huge accomplishment and looking forward for the next class. Highly recommend!

Ida Lee: Having had my share of doubts in ever finding the right piano teacher, I'm very glad to have Zuzana as my mentor. She is professional and precise in her critique, and gives excellent tips on how to most efficiently build and develop technique. Our lessons are filled with fun, interesting and contemplative exploration of style and viva voce. I now have much more confidence in performance and interpretation, thanks to Zuzana.

Jake Hartley: Zuzana is the perfect combination of patience, passion and knowledge. She is the most humble musician I’ve ever met. Once we got to know each other, our lessons were filled with constant learning, challenges and laughter. I looked forward to each of my lessons and because of this, I practiced as much as I could. Zuzana not only teaches you, she inspires you and introduces you to her passion. She’s an amazing woman who I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn.

Georgina: I grew up playing piano and did several AMEB exams and was very fussy in finding a new teacher after many years of not playing. Zuzana is perfect - she plays in a way which is inspirational and notices all the little details which makes the difference from playing well to playing beautifully. Every lesson I come away feeling excited to try new techniques and approaches.

Olga Axelrod: I've always found that one's success at a subject is determined by enthusiasm. A teacher can make or break that drive. From my first lesson with Zuzana, I was blown away by her ability to impart her knowledge of the piano onto me and by her seemingly instinctive awareness of my musical ability. She has kept me motivated to continue and to practise often. With Zuzana, I have felt my piano-playing absolutely surge.

Steven Godbee: After 40 years, I've recently started piano lessons as a 50-something. I was pretty nervous about it but luckily I found my way to Zuzana at Piano Promise. In just a couple of months, I've come leaps and bounds, feel more confident and developed significantly in technique and sight reading. Without throwing me in the deep end, she challenges me but doesn't let me feel like I'm out of my depth. I always feel like I've achieved something. She's given me some great tips for fitting in practice to my busy life and they've worked amazing well, so I'm getting the most out of the time I put in. I highly recommend Piano Promise!

Calum Scott: Zuzana is an inspirational teacher. I have taken up the piano again recently after playing when I was younger. She has a great eye for detail and her instruction and sensitive insight is adding a whole new level to my piano playing. Zuzana is the perfect teacher for adults looking to harness their enthusiasm for playing and take their skills and enjoyment to the next level.

Alexandra Poznyak: Zuzana is an amazing teacher, mentor and a very gifted pianist. Not only that she's highly skilled in her craft, she's also very intuitive and flexible, tuned to her students' needs, ability and personality. She's very inspiring, warm, caring and genuine, and she makes everything seem possible!

Ben O'Neill: I've been having lessons with Zuzana for just over a year now and I couldn't be happier. I played extensively as a kid but had formed some bad habits and Zuzana has helped iron them out.Would definitely recommend for a pianist of any age and skill level!

Scott Heappey: Zuzana is a great teacher. Her patience is outstanding ;) And she's a great motivator.

Douglas Aguiar: I was looking for a piano teacher because I got a last minute notice for an audition. I had 2 months (8 weeks) to learn and improve my technique and musicality on this beautiful instrument. Then I found Dan who helped me and all I can say is I passed my audition!!! A very dedicated teacher, a mentor actually. A kind and patient person. I’m extremely happy for the job he has done. I recommend REMIFA Music Education.

Isaac Stewart: Dan is a fantastic piano teacher and one I would highly recommend! As an adult beginner I'm amazed at the progress I've been able to make in just a few months under Dan's teaching. He is highly attentive and specifically caters his teaching to my individual progress. The lessons are a pleasure and always one of the highlights of my week!

Melyssa Ha: Here is my son's review about Teacher Dan.When the first lockdown started in 2020, I was only 7 years old and wanted to try something new. Soon later I was in the Remifa studio doing a trial lesson. At end of the lesson, Teacher Dan asked," Do you want to start learning piano?" And I said "yes" because it seems fun and I also read somewhere that playing piano makes you smarter.During the years I have been improving so much that I even skipped Preliminary! Teacher Dan always taught me some very important life lessons such as you should play slow and accurate rather than fast but messy. Certificates mean nothing, only improving matters and always keep practising and get better. He also advised me to play from the heart and people will enjoy listening to the pieces. He has helped me learn so much and now I'm about to do Grade 2 exam and he has told what I need to practise, what I need to work on, not to get nervous. He even told me to play in the QVB to build my confidence playing in front of audience. I always look forward having my lesson with him.

Grace: Dan is a truly incredible teacher! I decided to try piano again as an adult after learning when I was younger, I had lost interest in it when exam stress overshadowed the whole experience of playing and enjoying music - but one lesson with Dan and I completely fell in love with piano again.Walking into Dans studio you instantly feel so welcome and at ease, he’s kind, patient and engaging (he even makes scales seem fun haha). Each lesson you leave feeling more confident and with clear guidance and tools to continue practicing.I highly recommend Dan for anyone wanting to learn piano!

C B: Teacher Dan is first piano teacher who we met with and found via google search after returning from overseas and looking to continue our learning in piano. It is really amazed me his teaching skills, patient in teaching and way he structures the lesson that strengthen my girls' techniques. A plus is that after learning with Teacher Dan, my daughters really look forward to their next piano lessons!

Damien Stevens: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueDan is a warm and engaging teacher. As an adult learner, I’ve always felt comfortable. He gives patient and encouraging coaching, and sets achievable goals. I feel like I’m progressing and actually achieving something with each lesson. Great teacher and highly recommended if you’re thinking of starting as an adult learner!

Angeline Hong: Amazing piano class, highly recommended. My daughter just love going to piano class every week. The class is always fun, and my daughter always couldn’t wait to show me the piece she learn every week voluntarily. Dan not only teach piano class, but also teach my daughter important life skills, like persistence and never give up no matter how hard it is to learn a piece of song. Thank you so much Dan.

Ida Larrazabal: Dan has only been teaching me piano for the last 6 months but I have learned so much from him over that time. His teaching method is clear, patient, and most importantly fun! He has given me so many different exercises that allows me to gain strength in my fingers, build on the basics but he also allows me to choose pieces that I personally love. It is a good mix of challenging pieces and hard work and I have thoroughly enjoyed every single class I have had so far.One of the best things about Dan is that he wants his students to be independent. He gives his students the material and the basic training so that should they move on, they can also go back and refer to the material to teach themselves.I would highly recommend Dan to anybody who would like to start taking up piano. :)

Madeleine Lewis: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueDan is an excellent teacher who offers a holistic experience and takes the time and care to tailor his offering to each student. I have been exposed to technical pieces that are a joy to play and whole pieces of music to sink my teeth into.

Reese Adams: Dan is the best! His teaching methods are a perfect fit for me. As an adult beginner, I love that he tailors his lesson plans to each student. He's attentive and adapts the plan during the session too, for example, if I've picked something up more quickly than expected or if I'm struggling with an exercise (Berens!).Each week, we build on the previous lesson's theory, skills and songs. So it feels like I'm making steady progress in all areas even though I've only been playing for 12 weeks. I love that Dan's designed the theory and other resources so that my piano folder becomes an independent learning manual if I ever take a break from our lessons.Dan's friendly and he has a fun sense of humour, making REMIFA a great environment for learning at any age.

Adriana Koh: Dan is amazing. My youngest used to hate his piano lessons with a vengeance and just one class with Dan, he came home to play Mary had a little lamb on his own (without me having to force him to play the piano)! And he looks forward to his lessons each week (no more crying and the endless WHYS does he need to do piano). My two older ones are also loving their lessons. Dan has made it homework for my second one to teach his younger brother at home, and he is taking it very seriously. Love the way Dan manages my kids and how he has made them love their piano lessons. If you want a great piano teacher who inspires your kids to love their lessons, Dan is the guy you are looking for.

Yaseen: Dan is the best!I started seeing him on a friends recommendation and it’s been great. We’ve powered through so much content. Dan tailors the lessons to best support my learning. Whenever I do get stuck, Dan is always able to adjust and find other ways to teach things. He also finds excellent ways to pair music theory with the pieces that we play to help reinforce them.I started seeing him before COVID and during the lockdown we adjusted and took online lessons. Even online, I made very good progress and learnt quite a lot.He is very passionate and truly wants his students to shine. I’ve learnt so much much more than I ever expected to learn in the past few months.

Albert S: Dan is the best piano teacher I could have ask for! As a beginner and learning piano as an adult is not easy, but Dan, made it easy and enjoyable. Not only providing the comfort of learning piano at my age, but also assessing and push me to be able to do more, so I can achieve my purpose of learning piano.First, I thought i would just do a 10 lesson course to fulfill my curiosity to learn piano, but now, I almost be studying for a year and I am so grateful to learn at Remifa Music with Dan!I have seen myself improving from knowing nothing to now able to read and understand Music Sheet, Scales, Accidentals, Rest Length, Articulations, Dynamics, Tones and Semitones. I even looking forward to learn more!I definitely recommend Remifa Music, Dan as a piano teacher!

Gen God: Honestly one of the best piano teachers I ever met in my life! Dan is definitely the piano teacher that is perfectly suitable for a beginner like me. Often time, Dan would ask me what I have been playing and teaching me realistically from different aspects of the piano knowledge including the theory and the play both! Very flexible learning, cheerful, yet strict with the essential piano rules! I’m lucky to meet him really! 🙏Dan runs a free trail with every newcomer, try to book that with him and try out yourself 🔥

Tchuszy: Dan is an incredible piano teacher and I'd imagine most of his reviews start the same way. I was nervous to start piano as a complete beginner (just like you who is probably reading this) - but as soon as i booked his free trail class I immediately knew Dan was the right fit. All piano teachers can follow an exam curriculum and give you stock standard classes if that's what your after. But the difference with Dan as your teacher, he gets to know you as much as you allow and provides his students above and beyond what they need. I am a singer and without even noticing Dan has crafted my lessons to not only be exam ready, but has given me piano exercises which help me improve my ear.I started my lessons in Sydney and then moved to Melbourne for work. I have just reached my 10th online lesson with Dan. Not only have I improved a ridiculous amount thanks to his guidance over video - but Dan's lessons have easily become the best part of my week. I have received the same attention as if I was there in person and would recommend online lessons for anyone thinking about it!The best part of learning piano with Dan as my teacher is my confidence. As an adult beginner I have this shyness that's very hard to overcome. Dan has completely brought me out of my shell and his piano allows me to focus all my nervous energy and exert bright and happy playing.I will be a student for a very long time.

Nina Jean: I have never played an instrument before and at 31, decided to learn piano. After reading many reviews online for local teachers, I decided to go to Dan. 6 months later and I am amazed with what I have learnt and the progress I have made. I am learning music by Tchaikovsky, scales, sight reading and music theory. With the current covid-19 restrictions, I am continuing my lessons online which are equally as great as the lessons in class. If I am stuck whilst doing my practicing independently, Dan provides guidance via videos and voice notes and is always quick to respond, nothing is too much trouble. Dan ensures that as a student, you are kept on your toes. He keeps you motivated by changing things and ensuring you have more than enough to practice until your next lesson. He also teaches the right foundations so that you gain the most knowledge possible in his lessons, allowing you to advance quicker. I am so pleased that I chose Dan to be my teacher and will continue to have him teach me for as long as I can. If you are considering a piano teacher in Sydney, or online options at this time, I would highly recommend Dan. Take a trial lesson and see how you go, you won’t be disappointed!

Brian To: I have been learning piano with Dan for almost one year now. As a complete beginner, I never imagine that I can achieve this far in piano within a year! Learning piano with Dan is always a great pleasure and relieve for me from the heavy workload of university life. He actually understands the ability of each of his students and ensures that every lesson is educational but not too intense for them. We always have a lot of laughter in the lessons. He is completely passionate and enthusiastic about music and teaching. By having his lessons, you can not only learn about how to play piano as a professional but also how to enjoy music itself.Highly recommend Dan to any age and skill level, having piano lessons every weekend with Dan has become my most enjoyable activity for the whole week, I am sure it will become yours too!

Qwerty: I've been under the tutelage of Dan for some time now and could not be happy enough - to me he is not just a teacher but a mentor and an inspiration.I've trained with others in the past which allows me the privilege of describing Dan as second to none: For patience and for tailoring his lessons in a bespoke, personable manner.I've just passed my ABRSM grade 2 exam and intend to sit the follow-up this coming winter, which brings the rate of sitting at two per year. If I up the ante with my practise: I fully intend to skip some and power through the remainder.Humblebrag? Nay - I owe it to Dan for his wisdom in teaching and in motivating me to up my game - It needs all the help it can get!

Nik Youdale: I've been learning piano with Dan for about a year, after not having played piano for 15 years. He's patient, and tailors the lesson for my ability and interests rather than sticking to a rigid curriculum. This makes the lessons interesting, and I've learned a lot more than I thought I could in the time that I dedicate to piano as a result. Would definitely recommend.

Tom lovat: I have been with Dan for only about 6 months now and already my musical knowledge and skill has sky-rocketed well passed what I thought I could accomplish when I started my musical journey in my early 20's a couple of years ago. I can even sight read after this short amount of time!I Would highly recommend Dan for any age and any skill level. Unlike other music teachers, Dan caters to each student individually, whether it be a slow-steady pace or like me, rapid advancement through a lot of different pieces.So grateful for his lessons and I'm sure you will be too!
