About John

I am an Australian and graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. At age 12 I received the highest pass in Australia in my Australia Music Exams Board (AMEB) piano exam. From there, at age 12, I was entered in 3 local Eisteddfods in my home town, 12 years and under, a Junior Championship (16 years and under), and an Open Championship (open age), and won all three categories. I then went on to the Sydney Eisteddfods winning many first prizes. I was asked by several Professors of Music from the Sydney Conservatorium to move to Sydney to further my studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, which I did at 15. Eventually I travelled to the United States and Europe to possibly continue my studies, and was accepted into the Juilliard Music School.

I have performed at the Sydney Conservatorium in concerts as well as at the Shell Folkloric Music Festival at the Sydney Opera House on invitation of the Mayor of Sydney. After studying in New York I moved to Los Angeles and began teaching piano privately in people's homes where my work and name have grown exponentially.

My clients have included the families of Matthew Weiner (writer/creator of the tv series Mad Men), Jenji Kohan (wrter/creator of the tv series Weeds and Orange is the New Black), Doug Ellen (wrter/creator of the tv series and movie Entourage), Gendy Tartakovsky (creator/animator of the Hotel Transylvania movies).

My success has been in starting new or current piano students and having them learn extremely quickly and gaining a passion for learning and practicing. As an accomplished pianist, along with my passion to play, I have found this inspires my students to want to learn even more and strive to achieve a greater ability.

Piano is my love and my passion since childhood. I look forward to speaking with new clients wishing to learn, to discuss any questions you may have about learning piano.

Cheers, John

I started here in Los Angeles after leaving Juilliard in New York to reside in LA. I friend introduced my to a client of his looking for a piano teacher, and it has been word of mouth ever since.

About the lesson

I visit the homes of new students and meet with them and see what level they are at. I play to show them all the different levels of pieces they could commence with. Most importantly I play many pieces to let the student choose what they would enjoy learning, as I think this is one of the most important aspects of teaching.

All ages, and from beginners to advanced.

To know it is not difficult to learn, and that it is not an issue for me if they learn slowly and don't think they have the capacity, as I have the patience and succes to take them to a level of playing they will certainly enjoy.

i’m very proud that one of my current students, age 13, won a prize in a gifted musicians competition and recently played at Carnegie Hall in New York.

The Hollywood Bowl is my go to place all summer every year, the home of the LA Philharmonic, and other concerts.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
They should should have an instrument to practice on, as I teach very quickly, and it would not be wise to take lessons without having an instrument to practice with. There are many affordable options and I can help them with making those choices.

One of the most professional and caring teachers I've ever had. Inspiring talent that made me want to play more and more. Always flexible and attentive to scheduling and conflicts and easy to contact. He doesn't just want you to play better, he wants you to love and see the piano and music the way he does.

What I really Like about Maestro Piano (John) is that he explains things in a much easier way for me to understand than other teachers I have studied with! I couldn’t get the timing correct (on a piece I was working on) with another teacher I had and in a couple of minutes John had me understand the timing and I was amazed and so happy that I finally GOT-IT! He is very patient and professional.
