Piano lessons for COMMITTED pianists

I offer individual piano lessons for committed pianists that are productive, rewarding, and meaningful.

Hi! I'm Sandra, the founder of Inspired Music Studio. I have taught students of all ages from multiple nationalities, and have seen them blossom, both as musicians and as lovers of music.

I am friendly, yet firm. I tailor each lesson to reach the goals of each student, and encourage creativity and active engagement throughout the lesson. Students are comfortable during lessons, but every minute is well spent, and every lesson is productive.

I teach in English, and teach these components within lessons:

Classical Piano (exam / non-exam options)
Christian Worship Improvisation Skills
Play-By-Ear Skills
Music Theory
Sight-Reading
Aural Skills

Students get the opportunity to perform in 1 formal student recital and several other smaller-scale recitals per year. These recitals are a great way for students to share live music with family audiences in a safe and relaxed environment.

What students & parents say

JANESSA (10)

Ms. Sandra is a Great teacher. She is so good because she helps you work up to your goals. And she tells you lots of awesome strategies. It really helps me to learn new songs with the motivation she gives me. Her teaching works with any style of music. I have been learning piano for 2 years now, and I already feel like I am great at piano. And when you do duets with her, it is SO FUN! She improvises to make the song sound better. And when I make a new song, she will help me make the song sound much more better! Ms. Sandra is the best music teacher ever! 5 stars!

VESNA (Parent)

Sandra is interested in the ‘whole child’ - always situating her lessons in the context of a child’s life and relevant to daily experiences. She works equally successfully with children who have a talent for becoming very skilful pianists and with children who are more interested in piano as a medium for wider understanding and learning of music.

When I get stuck, instead of saying "you're expected to know!", Sandra gives clues instead of telling the answer. I always think Sandra makes it really fun, every lesson is like a treat. I feel really happy during the lessons and we get rewarded with stamps when we work hard.

Sandra uses all the time really productively and makes sure you learn the song. If you make a mistake , she will correct you in the nicest way possible. I feel like I'm being very productive lessons , and it's an energetic lesson so I don't feel really bored at all.

Sandra helped me to understand all the piano notes and signs. I always feel excited before and during the lesson and I also like that every time we get 30 stamps we get a prize!

embla (11)

If I make a mistake , Sandra's always like "we can fix it" even though I don't get the stamp. She always teaches with a happy tone instead of sounding discouraging or angry. She lets us learn any song we want to learn. I feel excited and happy about what we're going to do next.

Practice leads to progress which leads to positivity. Lessons are rewarding on condition that you (if you're the student) will commit to practicing the piano at least 30 minutes for 5 days a week as a minimum. If you're a parent, you will be expected to sit with/ actively oversee, support, and encourage your child's practicing journey and provide a good-quality piano and all resources including the purchase of piano books, etc. Are you ready to make this commitment?
