Tutor Spotlight

You are here

The College has many music tutors available to provide instrumental tuition during College hours.  Instrumental music lessons offer a wide array of benefits that extend far beyond simply learning to play an instrument. These benefits can positively impact cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.  Private lessons focus on the fundamentals of each instrument, leading to better tone production, intonation, dexterity, and overall control. This elevates the playing standard as an individual and also within a band.

Zoran C is one of our piano tutors that has been tutoring at the College for over 10 years. He is a professional piano teacher who has been teaching for over 20 years.  He teaches music of all styles and genres from Classical to Contemporary and students of all ages.  Recently, four of his students sat AMEB piano exams. 

Preparing for exams encourages students to develop a well-rounded set of musical skills, including:

  • Technical Proficiency: Exams often include scales, arpeggios, and technical exercises that improve finger strength, agility, coordination, and understanding of musical patterns.
  • Repertoire Knowledge: Students learn and perform pieces from different musical periods, broadening their understanding and appreciation of various styles.
  • Musical Understanding: Exams often assess sight-reading, aural skills, and music theory, which deepen a student's overall musicianship and ability to learn new pieces.
  • Performance Skills: Performing in front of an examiner helps students build confidence, manage nerves, and develop poise in performance situations.

Congratulations to the following students for the hard work and efforts in achieving great results for their exams:
