Piano Teaching Curriculum
Exam Pathways
AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board)
Comprehensive Piano Curriculum (Grades Preliminary to LMusA) includes essential preparation for music examinations. Our Piano Lessons for Leisure (Grades Preliminary to Certificate of Performance) offer a fun and engaging approach to learning. Additionally, we provide Theory, Musicianship & Music Craft to support written exams, ensuring a well-rounded musical education.
ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music – UK)
Practical piano examinations (Grades 1–8, Diploma levels) are an essential part of the piano curriculum, allowing students to showcase their skills. Additionally, music theory is also covered in the curriculum for Grades 1–8, complementing piano lessons and enhancing overall musicianship.
Non-Exam Pathways
Recreational & Creative Learning
Playing for enjoyment through various genres such as pop, jazz, and film music is an essential part of the piano curriculum. This approach not only enhances the joy of playing but also prepares students for music examinations. Additionally, developing improvisation and chord-based playing skills, along with strong accompaniment abilities, is crucial in piano lessons.
Performance & Musicianship
Recital preparation and stage presence are crucial aspects of our piano curriculum, especially as students work towards their music examinations. Ensemble playing, whether in duets or chamber settings, enhances collaboration and musicality. Additionally, our piano lessons include sight-reading and aural training to develop well-rounded musicians.
