Piano Teacher

Lucinda Peters

Piano lessons

“...I have high expectations of teachers particularly when it comes to their ability to engage learners. I have been impressed with Lucinda’s dedication as a teacher evident from her extensive knowledge of learning styles and preferences, preparation, lesson planning and patience. My children thoroughly enjoyed learning from Lucinda, so much so that when she went on extended leave recently, they would not learn from anyone else!” Chitrita Mukerjee, parent and director Odissi Music and Dance Co.

Lucinda believes the foundations to learning and writing music well, lie in knowing your way around the keyboard. She uses the piano for her own song-writing, composing, accompanying, and performing. Piano playing also trains the brain to be adaptable and creative from a young age.

She can teach children from 5 and adult beginners. Her approach with small children learning music for the first time is fun, creative and colourful while structured, focussed and engaging.

Lessons cover:

music notation
scales
music theory
fun repertoire
basic jazz harmony and improvisation (for older students)
can follow AMEB for repertoire and theory (if requested)

Lucinda also offers lessons in voice and guitar. These are listed under Lucinda Peters on this website. Thankyou:)
