Association and is qualified to teach steps 1 to 6 (the complete
course) of the Australian Electone Course which only authourised
teachers are allowed to teach. Glenn
also holds Practical Performance Certificates for
Piano.
He is also a registered teacher
with ANZCA (Australian and New Zealand Cultural Arts).
Starting a Course Starting a course
is easy and inexpensive. No previous experience is necessary, the school is
equipped with the latest models.
The courses are designed to provide the student with a thorough grounding
in the fundamental skills of music and performance technique, the student also
benefits from an introduction to a general knowledge of music and the
different styles of music including the terms and
signs used in music.
3 different
musical streams are available for all instruments: 1.
Classical only 2. Modern Only (pop/rock/jazz...) 3. A combination
of both Classical and Modern
Lesson Times Private (single student) lessons are for 30 minutes once a week.
The
Piano is a special Yamaha Conservatory Concert Silent Grand
Tuition Fees Current
fees are $20.00 for each 30 minute lesson (sorry no discounts for more than
one student in the family or pensioner discounts)
Examinations Examinations
are conducted at the end of each year (depending on numbers), the exams may be taken for the following
types: Classical Piano, Modern Piano, Keyboard and Modern Organ. The examinations
are conducted by ANZCA (Australian and New Zealand Cultural Arts).
The reason I use ANZCA instead
of AMEB for exams is because they offer a wider range of exam choices for the
students, they are not stuck with mostly classical repertoire. The other reason
is the staff at the ANZCA office are very helpful and friendly and are always
contactable.
