As someone who began piano later in life learning with Terence in Rockridge has been a turning point for me. his unique approach blending technical skills with musical expression has given me the understanding and self assurance I was missing before.

I began taking lessons with Terence in North Beach last year starting from scratch with no experience. At first I struggled with my timing on a digital piano but Terence made things easy to grasp with visual exercises. But now it has been a huge boost to my confidence and progress.

Terence taught me advanced grand piano skills like how to balance sounds and shape musical lines, and his helpful feedback really improved my playing for competitions. He's a great coach for dedicated students!

Terence has an incredible talent for teachingpiano. he showed me how to truly connect with the music, rather than just hitting the right notes. It completely changed the way I perform!
