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?

"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
