1. Expansion of services to include piano technician work

Current Lesson rates

25 Min lesson ($20)

1 Hour Lesson ($50) 

Piano Accompaniment: ($50)

These are starting rates which will be gradually incrementally increased depending on grades and difficulty.

I have been teaching piano since 2019, beginning with my friends and later on students through my ex-teacher and now on Carousell, and in that time, especially since 2023, I have been teaching people from a wide variety of backgrounds including 7 year old children, and up to 40 year old students who are casual learners on a part time basis.

I am capable of teaching either casual or serious lessons as depending on your requirements 

I am especially specialised in teaching performance, interpretation of classical works and and piano technique. 

Lessons are preferably paid on the day itself (NOT once-a-month payments) as it will be easier for you to be flexible with lesson dates and timings if you require it.

Hi! I am a self taught piano technician, voicing, tuning pianos by ear! I have been working on my own C bechstein Instrument and several other instruments that I own for about a year now(as of Dec 2024) , and I am now offering my services to the wider public for a very reasonable price and excellent results! Ever find your decade old YAMAHA piano to be too bright? Action too “loose”? or with "sticky keys"?And too “uneven”? Thinking that the piano is “spoilt” and need to sell it to “upgrade”? Here is the dirty little secret piano dealers do not tell you: with a bit of technical work, pianos less than 50 years old can be worked on to restore as much as 100 percent of the original touch and tone WITHOUT the replacement of expensive German/european parts. In my other listings, you can refer to some of my more recent recordings I made this year, and they are the result and proof of the fastidiousness of my work Refer to my Spotify account:

Tuning: 50 Voicing: 50 Regulation: 50 3 in 1 package: 130

For 3 in 1, need around 2 to 3 hours of work MINIMUM to make sure that the prep is the best it can be.

Though rare to encounter, I have different types of clue (CA Glue, Contact Cement, Vinyl glue to repair broken parts and/ or assist with voicing/technician work)

 

If u have further questions, feel free to reach out! Thank you! :)

I have my own standards, and tune every piano i touch as if they were my own. I have perfect pitch, and I am a pianist as well as a Technician

"A piano tuning session normally lasts between 1 and a half to 2 hours, sometimes even more (with action regulation, key-balancing or hammer voicing)! There are approximately 240 strings in a piano, so you may do the math and realize that if some local piano tuners charge you "as low as $50-$60 per session only", and they finish in half an hour, then something must be quite wrong there!" ~ jivko (Carousell)

 

TESTIMONIALS: 1) Exceptional passion and dedication to tuning the piano perfectly. Humble, friendly and professional. Highly recommended to all who desires quality service above all. ~ Classicrider

 

2) Spontaneous response from service provider. Trusted piano teacher whom knows his stuff and extended experience and competency to the world of tuning. Patiently tuned our piano to perfection. Meticulous and reliable. Worth engaging! ~ lunie

 

--> I am the only one on Carousell who charges 50 a tuning for a full 2 hour tuning session, making sure every note is tuned to perfection.
