Piano Teacher Directory
In the time that Gary has been in the industry, he has become acquainted with many piano
teachers. We recommend the use of piano teachers listed below.
 
Simply Music Method

Simply Music is a revolutionary, Australian developed piano learning method that offers a
breakthrough in music education.



This remarkable approach has students of all ages playing great sounding contemporary,





classical, gospel, blues and accompaniment pieces immediately from their very first lesson!




 
It is a positive and fun way to learn to play the piano. Call for a free introductory session.
 
(Gary's thoughts) This is an excellent method to learn piano especially for the older
 


student. It is a method that saves sight reading till your keyboard skills have become
 


unconsciously competent.




 


It builds self confidence and the ability to play in front of others without inhibition.


 
This is the most structured method I have seen where each teacher teaches the same




lesson at the same level so if you move you can go to another teacher and pick up

where you left off.






This helps with personality differences that can impede learning. Just change teacher.
 




Another feature that I like is group learning. Traditional teachers can't imagine how this
could work but it does.

You want to practice to be better than others in your class and so encourages you to not
 


be too busy to practice.

Give this method a go. I think it is very good.

Remember if it aint fun you won't want to do it.

Traditional AMEB Teachers

 
 

 

These Teachers will teach you through theory and AMEB Exams or play for leasure.

(Gary's thoughts) If you have had previous piano tuition then this method might suit you better than Simply Music.

This method generally requires more structured practice. If you are an older student Traditional piano is slower

off the mark than Simply Music however has the ability down the track to enable you to play any piece of music.

With any method it is important to have a teacher that you can talk to and see an improvement in playing ability

each lesson. Don't be afraid to talk to your teacher about the best way your teacher and you can stilmulate your

child to practice.

Work with the teacher to make learning the piano an enjoyable experance for you and your child.

Remember if it aint fun you won't want to do it.
