More than just music
Welcome to Edvin's Piano Studio
Wonderful pianist and the most caring teacher you can find
Meet the Teacher
Edvin is a professional pianist who completed his Bachelor of Music (Piano Performance) at the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music, under the tutelage of Stephanie McCallum. He was the recipient of The David and Nhilla Dumbrell and the Clarence Addison Turrill Scholarship. Additionally, he has been a finalist at the 2019 Piano Concerto Competition held at the Conservatorium.
Since 2017, Edvin has been teaching piano to students ranging from ages 3-70. This experience has allowed for a large variety of students to succeed in all exams and performance settings.
A Student's Journey
The heart and soul of these piano lessons is to help beginner, intermediate and advanced musicians develop a deep appreciation for music, express themselves through a creative form and become technically proficient at playing the piano. I personally believe that any person, with enough dedication and passion, is able to find something enjoyable and valuable from these lessons regardless of their music background or skill level.
No matter the level, every lesson will have a structured plan that will satisfy both short term and long term goals set out by the teacher. Short term goals will be weekly/monthly and long term goals will be bi-annually and annually. Each student will receive a detailed hand-made plan by the teacher that will guide the student throughout their learning journey. It will keep the lessons focused and goal-oriented.
THE BEGINNER STUDENT:
When starting out, the student will learn the piano through fun, engaging and personalised lessons. To make this enjoyable, the student will do a lot of to listening, playing and collaborating to experience music making. This new skill will be nurtured and developed through a lot of new repertoire. The lessons will be supplemented with proper fundamentals of ear training, rhythm, notation, posture and technique. The goal is to develop a habit of seeing the instrument as a welcoming place. It is to become a place of comfort and solitude or maybe joy and laughter. The more that the fundamentals are strengthened, the less the piano will be daunting.
THE INTERMEDIATE STUDENT:
With enough experience, fundamentals are expanded to meet the technical challenges posed by the tougher pieces. The scope expands to develop sight reading, teach advanced music theory, improve finger dexterity and explore critical listening. For this stage, the student will experiment with their sound and explore the vast piano repertoire that exists. There is a lot to discover for the students in this stage, and I believe any hobbyist can achieve it.
THE ADVANCED STUDENT:
For the more keen souls, one of the core principles for a developing pianist is to apply the fundamentals and develop the artist. This will involve an impeccable ear, excellent sound production, and a mastery of voicing and layering. The inspiration for these principles come from the greatest minds in European pedagogy such as Frederic Chopin and Heinrich Neuhaus. By this time, the piano will become an instrument of musical self-expression and almost an extension of the person themselves.

Theory and Ear Training
Whether it is a 30, 45 or 60 minute lesson, every lesson is truly unique depending on the student's ability, dedication and their musical intuition. No matter the skill, anyone is able to learn to play the piano whether casually or at a high level. The lessons are paced appropriately for each person and they can be enjoyable no matter the repertoire. A lot of work is done ahead of time to prepare the students for any future performances or exams (AMEB, Trinity College).
The lessons are held at the studio in Meadowbank or your home* if you own a piano.

Included also are theory and ear training sections of the lesson where the framework of music is being built and knowledge is increased. Ear training is most important as it develops the aural perception and musical side of the musician so they can hear what they want to play. It is an invaluable skill that every great musician learns.
