Conservatory trained pianist and composer gives piano, music theory and composition lessons from home or online.

Pavle is a very gentle teacher. He teaches us good songs and if we don’t get it right he lets us get another chance. He gives us time to practice and get used to a song and he doesn’t make us do things we aren’t ready for. (Student)
Pavle is not only an accomplished musician he is also a very skilled teacher. He teachers both of my daughters and with them he is patient, encouraging and creative. He meets each child as an individual and treats them as an equal in the learning journey. He inspires them to try harder, to be disciplined and to trust their relationship to the music.

Pavle is an incredibly creative piano teacher, able to tune into the student and really find out what makes them tick, and use that to help them achieve their potential. Highly recommend his style and methods for all ages and levels. With my son he uses a whiteboard to draw out his stories and then play them as a way to connect Sol with the piano. With my daughter he uses a more traditional approach that suits her. Both my kids love his lessons.

Pavle is a brilliant teacher. As an adult learner, he has given me the confidence to tackle pieces that my younger self would never have thought possible. Patient but still exacting, he pays as much attention to overall musicality as to technique. I would happily recommend him to players at all ages and levels.

I highly recommend Pavle Cajic as a piano music teacher for your child/children. Pavle is a gifted freelance music composer, classical pianist performer, and teacher who has facilitated and directed many concerts and is well respected in the community.
Pavle has been teaching our daughter for over two and a half years now, and we are extremely fortunate to have a music teacher of his calibre. He is passionate about his music and teaches it exceptionally well. We have watched our young daughter progress from a complete novice to playing beautiful pieces of music, and more importantly, she thoroughly enjoys her lessons.
Last year she completed her Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) grade two exam with flying colours, thanks to Pavle's dedication in preparing her for the exam. He is flexible in his approach, which has kept our daughter fully engaged and motivated. During the COVID lockdowns he continued with online lessons which worked remarkably well. He kept her highly motivated and created opportunities for her to perform in front of various audiences in-person and online, which has boosted her confidence tremendously.
Pavle also addresses performance techniques along with the technical aspects of piano, providing our daughter with a solid foundation in piano and music that will allow her to pursue education and eventually employment opportunities in music if she chooses to.
Most importantly, she has fun doing it, which is the most important thing.
Recently, Pavle moved from Sydney to San Francisco to pursue a master’s degree in music composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. We have continued with online lessons for our daughter to maintain continuity, and she is benefiting from it; it's working. The goal is that our daughter will qualify to continue her music education at the Sydney Conservatorium. The online lessons work remarkably well even with the time differences and distances involved.
I highly recommend Pavle Cajic as a music teacher for your children. I am grateful to him for everything he has taught our daughter and the joy she has experienced while learning the piano. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our daughter's experiences with Pavle further, he will provide my contact details.
