Stephen endeavours to provide an enjoyable programme of music tuition and appreciation suited to the needs and interests of each student. Read testimonials...
Teaching approach
Students are encouraged to pursue their own area of musical interest or academic need, whether it be performance, preparation for AMEB or VCE examinations, or purely music for pleasure.
Lessons are usually held on a weekly basis at the Stewart Street studio in Brunswick using a Yamaha grand piano. View teaching hours.
Music theory
The piano tuition program includes basic music theory, aural skills and music history.
More advanced theory tuition is available, catering to the individual student’s needs.
VCE
Stephen has extensive experience tutoring VCE students towards achieving their goals and preparing for University entrance exams.
The VCE years can be very demanding and many students benefit from the additional support of a private tutor for all components of the curriculum: performance, music analysis, aural training.
Testimonials
I've been taking piano lessons with Stephen for nearly a year. He's incredibly patient and supportive, making learning piano fun even for adults. I highly recommend him as a piano teacher.
Stephen has been an exceptional piano teacher for my son since he was 4 years old. Initially, I doubted whether anyone could teach my son to play the piano, but Stephen’s incredible teaching skills quickly proved me wrong. It’s not just about his competency; Stephen has a unique ability to instill a genuine love for playing the piano in my son. Rather than feeling forced to practice, my son now looks forward to his lessons and enjoys playing. Thank you, Stephen, for making music such a joyful part of our lives!
Stephen is a fantastic, patient and inspiring teacher. He is an incredible musician and it is a privilege to learn from him. Highly recommend him for teaching and accompanying!
Stephen is a great teacher, professional and friendly and just right for my daughter. Lessons address her specific needs and interests and are truly inspiring. I'm very pleased to have found him.
I have been seeing Stephen for 13 years and he is the best piano teacher/accompanist ever!!!!
Stephen is a great teacher and pianist! He is very knowledgable and patient. He has a great manner and makes you feel at ease when teaching, so you don't have to worry about being nervous while learning!
