Why lessons?

• Have you ever wanted to learn to read music, or to just "sit down and play" the piano?

• Do you have some favourite songs or pieces that you want to play...classical, pop, jazz, or even from YouTube or gaming?

• Do you need help choosing the right version of online printed music to suit your ability?

• Have you ever wished you could compose or create special effects?

• Are you looking for a qualified, experienced teacher for your child or children?  Do you think you are too old to begin lessons, or "to take up from where you left off"?

• Are there pieces you have always admired, but thought too difficult for you?

• Do you want to challenge yourself mentally and improve your memory and coordination?

  Who am I?

​

• My name is Giselle - someone who LOVES to teach piano!

• A qualified piano teacher (A.Mus.A (Associate Diploma - AMEB)) with over 20 years' teaching experience, and who has been playing since 8 years of age!

• A teachers' aide who has worked with special education students.  I am very patient!

• Former member of the GCC Choir

• Wife and mother to three growing sons (I understand the demands of family!)

"I met Giselle many lessons ago expecting to find a stern, no-nonsense type teacher.  Instead, I found a warm, smiling young lady with very obvious people skills.  I learned to play piano as a child, then promptly left it all behind.  Then I met Giselle many years and a lifetime later.  She has given me the motivation to learn again, lessons I thought long forgotten.  Gisellle is very patient, takes each student along at a pace she thinks fit for each individual, complimenting and moving ahead each lesson as is needed.  To listen to Giselle play piano herself is a delight and motivates you to want to be able to achieve that level for yourself.  I have no hesitation in recommending her to teach piano"  Dulcie, 80 years

​

"I always believed that learning the piano was very difficult, and it is, but Giselle guides me through all the steps/notes with a friendly and professional attitude to help me enjoy my lessons.  I would highly recommend Giselle to anyone who wants to learn the piano.  Thank you for helping me to go this far in my music and I am looking forward to continuing my lessons"  Manuel, 70 years
