Teaching Info

In lessons, students will work on both technical skills and essential repertoire for their instrument. This includes scales, technique exercises, and etudes, alongside pieces that match their level and interests. A repertoire list will be provided for guidance, but lessons should follow the student’s own musical preferences to help them stay engaged and motivated.

Students can also prepare for AMEB exams using the graded books.
