Testimonials
Discover the transformative experiences of our students through heartfelt testimonials. Dive into a collection of stories that reflect the impact of our courses and the musical journeys they’ve inspired.
Yanna’s teaching techniques of imparting her knowledge and skills possess a strong focus on fostering the individual’s strengths and aspirations instead of molding them into the conventional way of learning to play. For adult learners, Yanna’s application of Adult Learning Principles is reflected in her understanding and respect for the individual’s uniqueness and differences which brings the piano learning experience with her to a complete different level.
I love my lessons with Yanna. She has shown me how to develop a solid technique and play stylistically. I hadn’t played piano for 45 years when I started with Yanna. To be honest, I had never given technique much attention all those years ago. Having a systematic approach to developing a good technique really unlocks some wonderful repertoire that I never thought I would play. A huge thanks to Yanna for so patiently guiding and encouraging me!
I have been taking piano lessons with Yana for a few months now, and am absolutely loving it! I had never played the piano before, just wanted to learn something new, and Yana has been such a brilliant teacher! Although I'm new to the instrument and can barely read music, she is extremely talented and her lessons would be suitable for any experience level, from beginner to advanced. Yana is also a kind and lovely person, so the lessons are always enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning or improving their piano skills.
My kids have been taking piano lessons with Yanna preparing for AMEB exams and achieving A and A+ results last few years. Their progress has been enormous even with online lessons during the pandemic years. Yanna is highly experienced, patient, engaging and always encourages kids to achieve their best.

Level 1 (Preliminary to Grade 4):
Focuses on foundational skills, including basic techniques and introductory music theory.

Our dedicated instructors at CBD Piano Academy are here to guide you through each of these steps, providing the support and expertise needed to achieve outstanding results.
Learning to play the piano offers more than the ability to perform beautiful music. It sharpens cognitive skills, enhances memory, and improves hand-eye coordination. Studies have shown that regular piano practice can even reduce stress and boost emotional wellbeing.
By engaging both the creative and analytical parts of the brain, piano playing nurtures a balanced development that benefits individuals in all areas of life. At CBD Piano Academy, we strive to make this enriching experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

At CBD Piano Academy, we understand that every student learns differently. That’s why we offer multiple learning modalities to suit diverse preferences:
Our online courses are especially popular among those preparing for AMEB piano exams. These flexible programs allow students to progress at their own pace while receiving expert guidance.
Music theory is a fundamental component of comprehensive piano education. It provides the tools needed to understand the structure and language of music, enhancing both performance and composition skills. At CBD Piano Academy, we integrate music theory into our lessons to ensure students gain a well-rounded education.
Incorporating theory into practical lessons helps students develop a deeper appreciation for the music they play, making their learning experience more meaningful and enjoyable.
Selecting the right piano is an important step in your musical journey. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, the right instrument can significantly impact your practice and performance.
At CBD Piano Academy, we’re happy to offer advice on selecting an instrument that aligns with your goals and enhances your learning experience.
Parental involvement plays a crucial role in a child’s musical development. Encouragement and support from parents can make a significant difference in a child’s progress and enjoyment of piano lessons.
Our instructors work closely with parents to ensure a collaborative approach to learning, fostering a positive and encouraging environment for young musicians.
