Picasso — Piano Teacher

Picasso is a private piano teacher with over three years of teaching experience, specialising in classical technique grounded in the Russian school of musicianship. A former aspiring concert pianist, he is currently completing a double degree in Law and Psychology (Honours) at UNSW, which gives him a strong understanding of how students learn, stay motivated and build confidence.

He has trained under four distinguished teachers: two graduates of the Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music, a former scholarship student of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory who also studied at the Royal College of Music in London, and a First Prize winner at the 2026 Australian National Eisteddfod. Many of Picasso’s students have achieved A Honours in their AMEB exams, and he has helped many of them prepare for music scholarships.

His teaching style is structured, supportive and encouraging, with a strong focus on technique, musicality and real understanding of the music. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, Picasso tailors each lesson to the individual, balancing disciplined foundations with the joy of playing so students build confidence and make steady progress over time.
