reviews
kind words from my students.
the best part of teaching piano and singing on brisbane's southside is watching it click. here's what students, parents, and adult learners have said along the way - from four-year-olds finding their first tune to grown-ups coming back to the keys after decades away.
adult learners
it's never too late. plenty of my students started (or restarted) piano well into adulthood - some free during the day, some squeezing it in around work.
“I've always been interested in learning the piano, but being taught by Jess has turned it into a real passion for me. She creates an incredibly welcoming and comfortable learning space that makes me feel okay making mistakes and inspires me to improve. The way she teaches is both succinct and substantial; in just one half hour lesson I feel like I gain so much knowledge on piano theory and practice.”
“Jess has been so patient with me while I pick up piano again in my 30s! Her encouragement has kept me coming back. Seeing massive improvements after only a few weeks has been so exciting and it wouldn't be possible without Jess! Highly recommend.”
“Highly recommend Jess, who I've been learning piano with for over a year now as an adult getting back into playing. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and an excellent musician. Lessons are always engaging - I work on music I enjoy and I've made so much progress and grown my music knowledge so much more than I expected with Jess.”
“Jess has been the most patient piano teacher I've ever met!”
“Amazing piano lessons from Jessica, highly recommend.”
parents, kids & singers
from first notes to AMEB exams, and piano to singing - a few words from the families whose kids and teens learn with me.
“I can highly recommend Jess as a piano teacher - she has a fantastic way of engaging with my son Hamish, who is autistic. Her approach is flexible and engaging, and she manages his attention extremely well and keeps him progressing.”
“Jess has been a wonderful teacher to my daughter over the past 1.5 years. My daughter had never played piano before starting lessons with Jess and now she is about to sit her second piano exam (AMEB, Grade 1) after receiving an honours result for her first exam (AMEB, Preliminary) last year. I love that my daughter can learn both piano and singing in the one lesson and that I can hear her abilities and confidence improving each week. Not only is Jess an accomplished and talented musician, but she also connects well with my daughter and makes music fun and engaging.”
“The singing lessons I have with Jess are great. With her help and support, I have found the confidence to own my voice, laugh off any mistakes I make and sing with confidence.”
“Jess is a wonderful piano teacher. She was very patient, kind, and supportive with my daughter, and helped her a lot. Since my daughter started lessons, I have seen a big improvement in her confidence and piano skills. We really appreciate all the time, care, and effort Jess put into teaching her. Highly recommended.”
“My 5 year old daughter is learning to play piano with Jess and loves her lessons every week.”
“Our son takes piano lessons with Jessica, who keeps us well informed of his progress and is a great teacher. Will definitely be sending our second son for lessons when he is old enough.”
“Jess is an amazing piano teacher! Ryan has made a lot of progress since starting, and it's wonderful to see his confidence grow. Jess's teaching skills are excellent.”
“Jess is a fantastic piano teacher. Our child has gained a great deal of confidence as a result of Jess' teaching, and this has had a positive impact on his playing, sight reading, and performances. We would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone looking for a piano teacher!”
“I highly recommend Jessica as a piano teacher, both my kids love learning piano and coming to classes.”
