I wholeheartedly recommend Piano Lessons Dublin for piano lessons for both children and adults.

Anja runs a flexible, committed and efficient piano school. Once piano lessons are signed up for, everything runs like clockwork.  The availability of piano lessons at home is very helpful and the end of term piano concerts organised by the school are a great learning opportunity for the students.

Anja has arranged for Ciaran to give lessons to my primary school going daughters and also refresher lessons to myself. Ciaran is an excellent piano teacher.  He is a gifted musician with a great teaching style. He has effortlessly transmitted theory and musical knowledge to the girls, while ensuring that fun is key. They have enjoyed working on exam prep with him, while really really enjoying the compositions he inspires them to undertake! I have greatly enjoyed learning from Ciaran also, both on structured pieces and more improvised learning by ear.  We are really happy with our dealings with Piano Lessons Dublin.

Cormac has been teaching my two boys, aged 9 and 11, for two years now. Cormac is friendly and patient, and the boys love him. His lessons are lively and fun. As well as learning songs and music, he works with them on rhythm and reading music. He suggests things that the boys might want to learn, but he also asks the boys what they would like to learn. He can turn his hand to anything, from carols to Queen to Super Mario! 

The boys have made real progress and are looking forward to signing up for their third year of classes. I’d have absolutely no hesitation recommending Cormac.

I highly recommend Piano Lessons Dublin. Anja did a fantastic job finding a great music teacher for my daughter (11yr), son (10yr) and me.

Anja has been great in terms of checking in to see whether we were all happy with our lessons.  

She has organised two concerts this year. This has been a great opportunity for my daughter and son to showcase their progress as well as to hear other children play.

Both my daughter and I play the piano and my son plays the guitar. Rafailia, our music teacher, came to our home for the lessons. This was very convenient for us.

Rafailia's teaching style was very effective and pleasant. We have made huge progress which was visible through passing exams and playing at concerts.

Rafailia understood what motivated each of us and it felt that the lessons reflected this. Rafailia is very musical herself, and it has been very insightful to see/read/listen music through her.

Tennyson has been teaching my 8 year old boy for one year and its going great. What I really love is that he teaches him the music basics but pays attention to what he likes and doesn’t like to play, and one week turned up with the Pokemon Theme tune when my 8 year old was obsessing with Pokemon.  The self composed pieces are also great as I think they let them mess around in an unstructured way, and what I really like is that it is an easy going session that Tennyson gently persuades him to play more difficult things and lets him mess with the pedals. The concerts have also been great for building confidence.   Its such a lovely approach to learning music and I couldn’t recommend the classes highly enough.

 

Catherine Sturgeon, June 2018

My son and I started piano lessons with Anja this year. Anja's professionalism and love for all things musical is what really stood out for me. She was amazing with my 4 year old son, is kind and has the patience of a saint! Not only has she taught my son how to play the piano and begin to read music she has also instilled a love for music in him which hopefully will continue for years in the future.  After only 5 months of lessons he able to play "Old McDonald" and many other tunes. I am hoping to start my 3 year old with Anja in a years time.

For me, Anja has reignited my piano passion after 25 years off the keyboard. The music she presents is always enjoyable and upbeat and I find I am always learning with Anja. Sometimes when I haven't had the chance to practice a particular piece, Anja keeps me busy with alternative pieces or other exercises to practice. And she has been so flexible which is very much appreciated! Thank you so much!

This short note is to thank Anja for being such an amazing piano teacher. Both my kids, Antonio & Sara, have been taking piano lessons for two years. With all of her patience (a lot of patience !), creativity and love Anja had made playing piano such a positive experience for both of them. Anja has a very effective teaching approach as well as she is very talented as pianist herself. I really appreciate her being always so encouraging and persistent. She has worked so hard to improve Antonio and Sara's skills and to boost their confidence. We are all going to miss her a lot as we are moving back to Italy. But we will not forget who has taught us to love the piano. With sincerest appreciation,

Ciaran teaches piano to my two sons age 10 and 7 . He is a wonderful teacher and his enthusiasm is infectious! He makes it fun and has a real gift with children. We are looking forward to more lessons next September.

 

Eve Gaughan, June 2019

I would highly recommend Piano Lessons Dublin. Emmet O Connor taught our two children, Elena 9, and Elliot 7 for the year. The kids loved his style of teaching and really enjoyed the lessons. Elliot even composed his own song on the piano and was greatly encouraged by Emmet!  Thanks to Emmet for all the hard work, it's great to hear such lovely music being played in the house!!

 

Claire King, June 2019

Would like to say Big Thank You to Anja for her lessons! My nine years old daughter is very happy with her, Grainne is never told to practice at home by her parents, Anja gives her motivation to do it herself.

We are very pleased with the firs exam results.

Best of luck for all what she does!!

 

Olga Muzychuk, July 2018

I would be very happy to recommend Piano Lessons Dublin to anyone looking for a piano teacher. Anja found us a great teacher, Ciaran, who has been teaching 2 of my children (aged 6 and 12) for the last 3 years. He has a great rapport with them and they really enjoy learning the piano with him. They have both also successfully completed a number of RIAM examinations with the help of his teaching, and are looking forward to resuming lessons after the summer!

 

Michele Doran, June 2018

My son Oisín (7) has completed a year of piano lessons with Anja. It was such a pleasure to watch his musical interest, curiosity and confidence grow over the year. He practices for enjoyment and even tries to write his own simple tunes ... I credit Anja’s encouraging and gentle teaching style for his new love of the piano!

 

 Emma Jane Joyce, Sep 2018

I am really pleased with the piano lessons from Anja’s team.  Jack (8) loves his weekly lesson with Ciaran. They are great friends and have music discussion as well as piano.  I never have to persuade Jack to practice and I think he is doing remarkably well for his first year studying piano.  I have no hesitation in recommending Anja and Ciaran and we are looking forward to resuming lessons in September.

 

Barbara Ryan, June 2018

My teenage sons have enjoyed their piano lessons with Anja over the last few years and their skills have continuously improved with the benefit of Anja's positive attitude and constant encouragement.

 

Brid McCoy, Aug 2018

My daughter Ruby and I are loving the piano lessons. Tennyson is a great teacher, incredibly patient and professional. He really goes above and beyond to ensure that we get the best out of each lesson whilst tailoring it to suit our individual needs. We can’t wait to continue in September.

 

John Wyer, June 2018

Lara has been learning piano with Anja for three years now and she's enjoying her lessons a lot. It is great to see how Anja can combine classical pieces and theory with more modern songs that keep Lara always very enthusiast and entertained! This year Lara even passed her Grade 1 piano examination. I would highly recommend Anja as a teacher!

 

Melanie Corvi, June 2017

A highly accomplished performing musician in her own right, Anja also shows great skill as a teacher of piano. She has empathy with her students of all age groups, motivating and inspiring each person to achieve their potential. I have greatly enjoyed and benefited from our sessions this year and look forward to continuing to work with Anja on further enhancement of my musical experience.

 

Marie Therese Swan, June 2017

I highly recommend Piano Lessons Dublin. Anja went to great lengths to find the right teacher for my daughter. Philip was simply fantastic!  Anja's lesson schedule took account of all the school holidays and Philip was extremely accommodating. Looking forward to resuming lessons after the summer break.

 

Paula Dolan, June 2017

Anja was very prompt and easy to deal with and quickly found a good piano  teacher that could come to our house , Philip was an excellent teacher who worked well with our daughter and was a pleasure to work with.

 

Dearbhla Lawler, June 2017

Anja has great patience and understanding of young children . My son Tom is eleven years old and has just passed with merit his grade 1 piano exam . This is a great achievement for a child who only wants to play rugby and be with his friends outside! He wants to continue learning piano with Anja in September , I'm really happy about his decision.

 

Veronica Cosgrove, June 2017

In the 3 years I have been taking lessons with Anja, she has helped me to improve immensely. She has fostered my interest and enjoyment in playing, and has shown serious dedication and patience in helping me to prepare for the exams. I would recommend Anja to anyone who wishes to learn how to play.

 

Hugh O’Neill, June 2017

Anja is an excellent piano teacher we can thoroughly recommend. She has been teaching our children for a year now, and they have found a love of music in their individual ways. Beyond teaching them a variety of pieces, Anja teaches them sight reading, intervals and introduction to harmonies. She really "gets" our children and gives us regular feedback that has been spot on and very helpful indeed. Anja is highly professional and results oriented, and the end of term concerts for children and families are a great reward for students and parents alike". Thank you, Anja!"

 

Regina Umbach, August, 2016

Anja is a very dedicated and creative piano teacher . She focuses on the uniqueness of each individual child. She is child-focused and prioritises / listens to what the child's needs are in relation to what they want out of their piano lessons. She allows the child to pick a piece of music and as a result the child engages more in learning the piano piece. My three daughters have really progressed in their piano lessons and we as a family are thrilled with the results! Thanks  Anja!

 

Padraig and Anita Mc Elwain

Anja is great with kids. My children, ages 10, 8, and 5, have been taking lessons from Anja for almost two years now. Anja is very patient and keeps my children’s interest.  She personalizes the lessons to build on the strengths of the individual student, Anja is professional in every sense.  I highly recommend her!

My twin daughters (aged 10) started piano lessons as beginners with Anja in Sept 2014. They have really progressed  and they just love their lessons. Anja makes it fun yet serious enough to make sure they practice. She also organises end of term concerts so the girls have an opportunity to play in a little concert environment and we get to listen to her other pupils.  We are really delighted  we found Anja.
