Incredible support and the best service! I would wholeheartedly recommend All Hands piano academy!

Professional teachers, pianos, and teaching skills.

Agnes is a terrific teacher. I’m having piano lessons for the first time in my life, at 50, and I am very happy that she is teaching me. She is very patient and encouraging, and really knows her stuff. She found the songs I wanted to learn and even worked them out herself when there were no other sources.

My daughter Sophie began piano lessons at All Hands Piano Academy at the commencement of this year. Her first teacher Emma created a love of piano, music enthusiasm and a strong teacher/student bond with my daughter. Starting with absolutely no music knowledge at the age of 5 years (purely an interest in learning music and piano) almost 11 months on she is able to read music, play confidently pieces she works on and has already participated in a recital. Having now moved teachers across to Agnes (post Emma taking maternity leave) we could not be happier! Similar to Emma, Agnes' lessons are fun and engaging. She has a kind and personable teaching nature that my daughter loves. Agnes' lessons are well structured and tailored extremely well to my daughter's level - they are challenging but at the same time targets are within reach for fundamental development. Sophie has her second recital coming up with Agnes and we are so happy at her growth, enjoyment and love for piano. I highly recommend Agnes as a piano teacher from All Hand Piano Academy.

Neon is very good with children, she identified my daughter’s personality very quick and know what’s the best way to teach my daughter since beginning. We are more than satisfied with Neon’s professionalism, when she teaching my daughter’s piano, my daughter can understand what she needs to do easily, and Neon also always let us know what we can do to help our child to practice at home, she is very polite and passionate, she’s a reliable teacher who is very knowledgeable and responsible. My daughter enjoyed very much to learn from her.

Neon taught my two daughters who were quite different in interests, abilities and personalities. Neon would use different methods to teach them and when selecting the music pieces, Neon would also select different pieces in accordance with my daughters' interests and abilities. Neon's professional conduct is highly regarded among those who have been taught by her. She communicated clearly to my daughters and always shows up on time. Neon is a very polite and kind person and she would go extra miles to care for students needs. We were very pleased with the musical progress made whilst learning with Neon. My daughters had improved a lot on their skills and interests during the time.

Grace has been teaching our daughter piano for around 8 months. We are so happy with the way she has progressed, Grace is an excellent teacher who is patient, encouraging and has a great understanding of how to teach new students. Our daughter always looks forward to her lesson each week and is very motivated to practive every day at home. We highly recommend Grace for new piano students!

My son began piano lessons with Grace this year. Her lessons are fun and engaging. She has a kind and personable demeanour that my son enjoys. Importantly, her piano lessons are well structured to facilitate development in fundamentals. Already he has participated in a piano recital and we're delighted at his growing enjoyment and enthusiasm for piano. I highly recommend Grace as a piano teacher.

My children have benefitted greatly from Grace's methodical, patient and supportive piano tuition. Grace has helped them progress quickly and establish good foundations for technique, reading and aural skills. Her lessons are fun and she has instilled an enjoyment of music and its creation. I highly recommend Grace as a piano teacher.

We’ve had an incredible experience with Emma. Her teaching style is engaging and patient, making each lesson enjoyable. She’ve helped both kids progress so much in a short time. Highly recommended!

I had the privilege to work with Emma Stephenson when she taught at the music school I own in NYC. She is a fantastic teacher and musician who became an instant sensation and gained a full teaching studio in record time. Children and adults alike could not wait to get into her teaching room to start their lessons. My own oldest son truly enjoyed taking jazz focused lessons with Emma, he composed several jazz pieces and was working on some cool advanced stuff. We miss Emma in New York but know you’ll be in good hands. Enjoy your lessons, she is amazing!

Emma is a fantastic piano teacher and I would wholeheartedly recommend her for any age and skill level. My 6 year old son and I both took lessons with her for almost 2 years in NYC in person, and then online for a few months once she moved to Australia. Emma instantly became our family favorite. She is such a warm, talented and wise teacher and musician. My son was just starting to learn the piano and I went back to it after a 25 year hiatus. I was a bit jealous of my own child as I wished my own first piano teacher had been more like her. Emma is playful and loving, yet able to inspire both interest and practice discipline in a very young kid. She is equally brilliant at teaching an adult with solid background but many a bad technique habit. I will forever treasure the confidence she helped me build in my ability to tackle almost any piece. I also particularly appreciated her ability to teach both jazz and classical piano. Having grown up playing classical only, I had always wanted to be able to play jazz, and with Emma's help I got a wonderful head start in jazz harmony and improvisation. We miss her terribly and can assure you that you are in wonderful hands with her by your side at the piano.

Emma is a great piano teacher teaching my 5 years old son. She split learning contents into small and manageable chunks so it's easy for me to track the progress. On the lessons there are many fun games and all that supports my little son's learning curve very well. You can listen to Emma's album on Spotify so you will know how professional she is.

I started taking lessons with Emma about 3 months ago, as a 32 year old complete beginner with no prior knowledge whatsoever, and I could not have hoped for a better teacher! Emma is kind, patient, and understanding, and doesn't seem to mind repeating things over and over again until they finally sink in...! She is incredibly supportive and encouraging, and I have already learnt soooo much. I'm really enjoying learning with her and would strongly recommend her to anyone (adult or child) wanting to learn piano.

My two children (13 and 11) have had piano lessons with Emma for the past five years, both face to face and online, and I could not recommend her more highly. She is a wonderfully skilled, generous and engaging teacher and has sustained my children's interest in piano throughout that time. She has a beautifully warm manner with kids, quickly building trust and connection and finding what inspires and motivates them as individual learners. She also challenges her students to continue to improve and expand their skills, and finds meaningful ways of celebrating milestones and achievements in their progress beyond just formal exams. I have always found Emma to be highly professional and a pleasure to communicate with.

Our son has recently started piano lessons with Emma and we can already see how his skills and musicality have developed even in a short space of time. Emma has recognised his love for Jazz and has known the way to challenge his skills whilst also encouraging and nurturing his enthusiasm. Emma is very professional in her approach to her teaching and our son is loving learning from her!
