AMEB Notes:

  • Performing Exam Pieces From Memory: It is not mandatory to play your selected pieces by memory for the AMEB examiners. However, allowing students to have books or sheet music in front of them drives students to mental laziness. You will be taught to play independently of the books/sheet music and to perform at the exams playing pieces by memory without the books/sheet music.

Peter is not only a great musician, also a great music/piano teacher!!!With 3 months time, Peter has improved my daughter in each piano lesson they have,and has even encouraged her to be more confident in singing which is a true Miracle!!! My... daughter said, "Before I met Peter, I would've known half the things I knows now .Peter is very patient very gentle. He teaching new tequniques also picking up on little bad habbits that I never thought would have such a great impact!" Yes, my daughter started to learn piano with other teachers for 2 yrs, we found that wasn't the right way for learning piano....Luckily, we finally got Peter !!! I feel great honored for my daughter being one of the students of Peter!!! If only Peter would be my daughter's first piano teacher 2 yrs ago.. I believe the story will be totally different!!! Thanks Peter! Much Much appreciated for your help with my daughter ❤️! I hope my daughter will keep enjoying the musical journey with Peter, and sincerely recommend the Musical master ---Peter Teodorescu---for all the piano/vocal learners, You never feel regret for this decision!!!🥰read more

Having previously heard Peter play and appreciating his talent as a pianist , I was nervous before my first lesson and reluctant to play piano for anyone after neglecting my practice for so long; however , Peter was well prepared with finger... exercises and theory examples to take away and patiently helpful .His thorough knowledge and experience were reassuring and his manner encouraging and positive. I came away with plenty of strategies to develop and refine the pieces I'd had difficulty mastering . Thank you Peter!read more

My children started piano lessons with Peter in the middle of this year. As a previous piano teacher, I had quite high expectations and wanted a teacher who was able to teach good technique but also be patient and understanding given the pandemic... and each of my children's different learning styles.Peter has met all of these expectations. He has provided lessons online (during early COVID days) and then later in my home, which has allowed me to continue working from home while my kids were learning. As a full time worker this has been amazing, as otherwise I would not have been able to take my children to lessons.During this first term both my children have learned to play piano with left and right hands, reading both treble and bass clef, and my daughter has been having some singing lessons as well. Peter has been very patient and modified his teaching style to accommodate each of my children's varying attention spans, talents, and interests. My daughter now runs and plays any piano she sees, and has become confident to sing in front of other people. My son sometimes plays till late at night to master a song he loves that Peter has gone to the trouble to find and listen to then notate for him (I don't think Yum Yum Hammerpaw from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is a standard request!).Diana has been very prompt to reply to questions via email, and communicated about holidays, and provided bookings for my calendar when we have had zoom lessons. The monthly invoices are easier to budget for than paying a term upfront when swimming and other school bills are due.I have recommended Peter to my family and friends, due to his friendly nature, the skills my kids have developed, and his flexibility to provide lessons in my home. But mostly it's been a joy watching my children love playing the piano like I do.read more

After trying lessons with other teachers in the past, I have been learning piano with Peter this year and I feel confident to say he is the best out there.I am always excited about what we learn and how inspirational he is in his classes. He has a... passion for sharing his musical knowledge and experience, and he knows a very broad context of music – including European classical and also other genres. Despite being an incredible musician, he is very humble and I always enjoy both conversation and learning with him. He is very flexible, he has his methodology but is always happy to adapt to what you want – for example if you want to learn a specific piece of music.Learning with Peter is like opening a door to an abundance of experience and culture. I am an adult learner, but I can see from his manner that he would be a fantastic teacher for children too.read more

My singing lessons are a highlight of every week. I have been surprised by how quickly I have noticed a difference - for the MUCH better!As someone who has not had the opportunity to consider singing lessons till :cough: middle-age :cough:, I have... thoroughly appreciated Peter’s relaxed & flexible approach. He has an amazing ear for music & remarkable ability to coach both your ‘ear’ and your ‘voice’. Each lesson flies by, is lots of fun, and always full of valuable feedback. Working with Peter has resulted in my making more progress faster than I could have imagined. Two months ago I was not at all confident I could actually find and hold a note, let alone sing anything someone could stay in a room with. Today I have three songs on my practise list that I almost don’t care if the neighbours heard me practicing and THAT I definitely did NOT expect!Peter is definitely a little bit magic as a singing teacher 😉read more

Peter Teodorescu is an absolute pure musician and an excellent pianist, among the few or even the only guy who is able to sing like the great Siminica. There is much to be said about Peter - not only because he has perfect pitch. I worked with him... on the show 'Your Face Sounds Familiar' where he was responsible for setting the individual contestant's key to ensure that their TV performance would be optimal.I have been pleasantly surprised that he is able to hear the smallest detail - that even the show's executive producer has said that no-one will ever match Peter's skills.Every detail was explained in depth and the keys were perfect for our band and our competitors. I'm extremely proud to have worked with someone that knows so much about music and singing and has been such an invaluable asset to the show, and extremely proud to have such a good friend.read more

Peter has been so wonderful, transcribing her little songs that she can then share with her friends and family. We are encouraged by her progress.read more

Peter has been teaching our 10 year old son piano for over 6 months....the most brilliant piano teacher, and mentor, we could ever have wished for!Our son was not initially passionate to learn, however, I had read of many studies (Psychology... Today-19th August, 2015). which found significant results in increasing of Auditory Processing skills (necessary for all learning), in Dyslexic and non-dyslexic children alike. As our son has dyslexia, we made contact with Peter. Already in this time, our son has happily progressed with his piano and finger skills, and also has improved in his academic performance at school, and his confidence in general. I notice a heightened auditory ability to recall everyday directions/requests at home. Our son really looks up to Peter, for his amazing piano skills, for his ability to gently encourage and motivate, and equally as important-to believe in his own ability. Peter has always given so much time and dedication to his lessons.The humbleness of Peter is heart warming, his skill at the piano/keyboard is sensational...with the ability to 'hit out' any song on request in a moment...with a smile on his face emitting the joy that music brings to him. I am sure Peter thrives on the fact that in teaching others these skills, they too may share in some of this joy!read more

Theo is an incomparable pianist and tutor whom I've had the pleasure of working with on multiple occasions, both as a part of our entertainment duo 'Theo and Rule' as well as during a musical production of 'Oliver!' wherein Theo was the Musical... Director and I the Vocal Coach. He has always been a pleasure to work with and his affinity for piano is truly remarkable; not only is his technical knowledge and expertise absolute, but he also understands the importance of complimenting this with a connection to emotion and a sort of integrity which adds that extra layer of colour and purpose to both his own playing and in regards to mentorship. I highly recommend Theodore to anyone hoping to REALLY learn the piano to its full capacity and potential.read more

Peter is an amazing pianist. I have listened to him play on many occasions, have jammed with him, and we have had many conversations about music, music theory, performance etc. If I wanted to learn piano he would be the person I would go to, no... contest. For myself, I am a professional guitar teacher and music examiner for the Registry of Guitar Tutors and London College of Music who has held exams and taught in four countries and have an international student roster. Peter would be my first choice in piano. His knowledge of theory, desire to experiment with music and his playfulness all contribute to make him the most enthusiastic ambassador for his instrument. He is the teacher I recommend to any piano enquiries I receive, and will be the person I send my children to.read more

I'm the Activities Officer for a local Aged Care Facility and was looking for new entertainers for 2019.An email came through about Peter and i thought... why not, and boy was i glad i did. Peter arrived at our facility on time and as soon as his hands hit those piano keys i knew i had my new Pianist!His talent absolutely enthralled the residents, for the hour we were treated to the BEST piano performance i have seen. He can literally play everything!After Peter had finished he was so polite, he thanked every resident, had a bit of a chat and was on his way. The residents loved him that much they were following him out the door to say goodbye!Peter has now been included to play at my facility twice a month. The residents were so impressed they wanted more. I was more than happy to have such talent return and play.If i can give you a word of advice, hire this man and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed 😁read more

Life is art, art is music, Peter Teodorescu is music personified. I am a Celt and like a moth to the taper, I have enjoyed music throughout my life without knowing why. Peter has a gift, he makes music understandable in a way that you cannot teach.... His love of music is infectious and I unreservedly recommend him to you. He will expect consistency, constancy and commitment from you as a student but in return he will seamlessly expound music theory and he will affect you with an enduring love of sound. He will teach you to express in music that what cannot be said in mere words. Peter is a great person and a wonderful teacher. Enjoy!read more

Generally as early as 5 years old is best, however children younger than this (3-4yo) may have excellent focus when learning music. For children younger than 3, the best parents can do is expose children to classical music daily (from 15 minutes to 3 hours). If your child is exposed to music before 5 years of age, the chances of the child having perfect pitch is significantly greater.
If you would like to start lessons for a child younger than 5, contact us for a trial lesson for 30 minutes. Also see Giving Your Baby an Early Advantage.
Yes I recommend this. You may like to take notes throughout to help your child when they do their own practice in their own time.
A common question asked is whether a child should still pursue singing lessons when their voice is breaking (male voice), and how long it will take until the child's voice becomes stable.
It is better to stop training while your child’s voice is breaking because it is like training with an inconsistent instrument. The results are unpredictable and it is frustrating and disheartening. Either have a break, or we can focus on things like music theory and/or sight reading that will help him in the future. We can still do solfeggios which will teach sight singing and pitch.
In terms of how long it takes for a child’s voice to become stable, I can’t answer this. For myself, it took approximately 3 months, but every person is different.
Yes and No. Singing is something you can train. It depends on how much someone has been exposed to music (any genre) and their interests in it, however there are situations where children do not have the ear or ability to sing, no matter how much time and money you throw at the quest. In this case, I do not want to take your hard earned money for a goal that may not be achievable and I will let you know if we think that energy and money should be spent elsewhere.
Unfortunately there are music schools that provide singing lessons for any children and are happy to put a child on stage or in public to sing when they are not ready, or with a song that does not match their vocal range. This is unfair.
Music must build a child or adult’s confidence and they must feel good about singing and feel good about making progress every week. Confidence is priceless and will carry over into everything else the student puts their mind on in life.
Yes this is the most efficient use of your time. I’ll schedule the children one after another.
Yes. It is mandatory when teaching children to have a valid Working With Children Check Number at all times. Additional to this our school requires all teachers must have completed the NSW Office of the Children's Guardian Child Safe eLearning packages and have a police check.
