Learn Piano with an Experienced Teacher
Larisa has more than 37 years of piano teaching experience, including 11 years teaching in Moldova and more than 26 years in Australia.
She holds a Professional Diploma in Piano Teaching and Accompaniment (with Distinction) and is a Fully Accredited Member of the Victorian Music Teachers’ Association.
Her teaching follows recognised AMEB standards and can support students preparing for piano examinations.
Larisa also holds a current Working with Children Check.
Every student is different. A young beginner needs a different approach from an adult returning to piano after many years, while an advanced student may need more focused technical and performance coaching.
Lessons are therefore adapted to the individual student rather than following exactly the same program for everyone.
Piano Lessons for Children in Gardenvale
Children can start piano lessons with no previous musical experience.
Lessons can introduce:

Piano Lessons for Adults
It is never too late to learn piano.
Some adult students begin as complete beginners, while others return to the piano after many years away.
Lessons can be adapted to your experience and goals. You may want to learn classical piano, improve your technique, read music more confidently, prepare for an exam or simply learn pieces you enjoy.
