Piano Lessons in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

Learning the piano also exercises more areas of your brain and strengthens the connection between the two halves of the brain more than other musical instruments making it the king of instruments when it comes to the benefits of music education. Almost all of history’s great composers were pianists!

Learn At Your Own Pace

Learning to play the piano can seem daunting at first but it needn’t be. Lessons will progress only as gradually or as rapidly as each individual student needs.

The Benefits of Piano Lessons

Learning to play the piano is not just a rewarding and enjoyable pastime, it has also been found to have many mental and physical benefits. Learning a musical instrument, and learning the piano in particular, has been shown have a positive effect on the development of language skills, literacy, numeracy, IQ, self-efficacy, and – with the right kind of instruction – creativity and self-esteem.

Participation in musical activities has also been shown to contribute to perceived good health, quality of life and mental well-being. Read more…
