about the company and piano coach...
the company, Classical Piano Coaching,
was formed to guide and inspire individuals of all ages
on their musical journey - whether it is:
-
fulfilling a lifelong dream of learning to play the piano;
-
seeking out alternative methods to overcome technical challenges or
-
developing skills to unlearn limiting form;
-
assisting with examination readiness as well as
-
building public performance confidence; or
-
simply to stimulate the creative spirit through composition...
​
​
...it does so by breaking away from
the traditional piano lesson structure and approach;
rather, using student-defined outcomes as departure point
to plan out tailored coaching sessions
that are unique to each student's needs.
the founding director (and the company's piano coach)
is a unisa-graded pianist who've shown interest in, and became acquainted with the king of instruments at the tender age of four.
​
He commenced with formal classical training by the age of eight, and attained the NQF level 4 qualification - covering both the music theory and practical divisions - prior to graduating from secondary education.
​
Over the years, he participated in local art competitions, performed at select public and special occasions, composed original works and also crafted arrangements of a few well-known and popular pieces for piano - which he started publishing in the public domain since 2022.
​
As qualified chartered accountant - fully registered with the south african institution - he also maintains a full-time professional career as assurance and risk specialist in the banking industry.
