Hey there I’m Ed, I’ve always been an enthusiast of the piano. But recently I’ve been even more enthusiastic about developing independent musicians. I’m an official AMEB classically trained musician who is currently studying towards my AMusA examination. I have prepared 10+ students for AMEB exams and continue to expand my student base.

My mission statement is to help students of any age develop a fundamental understanding of reading, playing, listening, creating and interpreting music. Music is a skill acquirable by anyone, not reserved only for those with talent. We want to empower everyone with the courage to pursue the creative performing arts side of themselves. Whether that be playing for the enjoyment of yourself or others, we’ll provide you 24/7 support along your journey.
