Piano Teacher

Daniel Tucceri

Piano and fretted instruments lessons

I am a piano teacher with 7 years of experience who is a protege of the masters Alan Kogosowski (classical) and Allan Zavod (jazz). After only five years of tuition from the age of 13, I was accepted into the University of Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. Currently, I teach privately with an upright piano in my home studio and teach at the Piano Time Music Academy, where both an upright and baby grand are available. I also teach guitar, bass and ukelele at this academy. Importantly, I have a working with children check.

I have been featured on ABC Radio National and ABC TV for the 7.30 report, performing classical piano and discussing my music. I am proudly endorsed by the Wertheim Piano Company and use their pianos exclusively for teaching.

Daniel Tucceri

“A new young ‘king of keys’”- George Gittoes, artist and filmmaker

“Tucceri decides to push the performance angle into the hellfire zone”- Jon Kromka, reviewer

From those two descriptions, it’s clear that Daniel Tucceri comfortably resides within either end of the musical spectrum. His passion for music in all forms has seen him share the stage with everyone from classical musicians to extreme metal bands.

After having formal lessons from age thirteen, Daniel was soon offered a place at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. Despite this, four years were instead spent studying physics and lifting bricks, before Daniel returned to the piano.

In 2014, two solo albums were recorded (‘Tempest’ and ‘Impressions of Melbourne’, both in 2014), followed by a collaboration with classical guitarist Matthew Fagan (2015’s ‘Solstice’). Daniel soon caught the attention of Alan Kogosowski and Allan Zavod, and is a protege to both masters of the instrument.

Beyond the stage, Tucceri has recorded for soundtracks, charities and countless Australian bands. He is also the current house pianist for sessions at Goatsound and Incubator Studios and has also performed on ABC Radio and television.

Daniel accompanies Melbourne singer-songwriter Brian Henry Hooper for all live performances and recordings, and Matthew Fagan for their ‘Solstice’ project. Previously, he has accompanied Rev Kriss Hades (Sadistik Exekution) and collaborated with Mick Harvey, Kim Salmon and Hugo Race.

Outside of piano, Daniel also currently sings and plays guitar for Melbourne band LIMNAL, and heads the Melbourne Drone Orchestra with Piers Morgan.

Daniel is endorsed by Wertheim Pianos proudly uses their Euro Series WE133 Model.
