Adeline began piano at age 6 and started teaching at 15. Growing up in a family of classically trained musicians, her fondest memories were of her father singing excerpts from Puccini’s operas and attending concerts conducted by her uncle. Today, she hopes to transmit those same feelings of joy and elation to her students, creating a platform for them to freely express who they are as individuals. In her spare time, you can probably find her being bitten by mosquitoes whilst stargazing.

Soowon grew up constantly surrounded by music, under the influence of her grandfather who loved classical music and her aunt who was a pianist. Soowon mostly performs classical music, but loves to listen to jazz. Her favorite jazz musician is Stan Getz. Soowon’s mother had always thought of her as a bouncing rugby ball because no one knew what she was going to do next and she always thought differently to others!

TESTIMONIALS
Prior teachers just weren’t engaging with me. As soon as I started to work with Josh my attitude changed completely.
This approach
works a treat!
Who would have thought that kid’s piano lessons could be so much fun?!
The teacher's priority is playing music and specifically, the music that the student is listening to.
Play Music taught my daughter to play tunes that she knew and liked and it made a huge difference.
Play Music has made learning piano as an adult a breeze.
Roslyn's manner is perfect for older students and we have been able to work together to find exactly what learning style works for me - no boring bits here!!
The convenience of lessons in
my own home is a bonus.
I would definitely recommend Play Music to anyone looking to learn the piano.
