Take a chance on me! Yes, I just quoted ABBA 😆
I teach all students, beginners to advanced, all ages and styles. Come for a once off lesson, and if you're happy to continue (and put up with my dad-jokes), then lessons continue weekly thereafter.
I’ve taught and accompanied students across many Sydney independent schools including Redlands, Reddam House, Pymble PLC, Santa Sabina, St Catherine’s, Barker and MLC School. Over the years, my students have gone on to perform at HSC Encore concerts at the Opera House, win prizes at eisteddfods, receive school scholarships, and gain entry into Sydney Conservatorium — which are always proud-teacher moments!

I’ve been teaching and performing for over 25 years (which makes me feel both very experienced and slightly amazed at how fast time flies!). I work with students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced players, helping them prepare for exams, HSC and IB assessments, eisteddfods, recitals and performances both as a teacher and a collaborative pianist/accompanist.
I love teaching. I enjoy making lessons engaging, supportive and confidence-building, while helping students develop strong skills and a genuine love of music.
Yes, stickers and prizes await deserving students!
More about me:
I also teach at other piano schools and work as an accompanist/collaborative pianist for AMEB exams, concerts and professional performances. I hold a Bachelor of Music (Performance), majoring in piano, from the Sydney Conservatorium. Most importantly, I love teaching. I enjoy making lessons engaging, supportive and confidence-building, while helping students develop strong skills and a genuine love of music.
Final things about me:
Of course, I also have my Working With Children's Check (all details provided to students/parents).
I'm now teaching at Hayes St Studio in Neutral Bay so if you'd like to chat about lessons or check availability, please get in touch!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Cheers,
Meena
