Achieve your goals, whatever they may be! From learning for fun to getting support with exams, lessons are customised to your interests.
Schedule piano lessons whenever suits you! The online booking system offers so much flexibility that you can choose a time that works for you.
Come along to the studio located in North New Brighton, or if you’d rather have lessons at your place we can explore different options.
In the time I had lessons with Bridey I improved a great deal. I put this down to her ability to tailor the lessons to suit me, her enthusiasm and friendliness, and her dedication to teaching accurate technique.

Exclusively for teen and adult students, On Demand lessons can be booked at a time and frequency that suits you. Being simple to schedule (or reschedule!) means this flexible option easily fits around your other commitments and responsibilities.
40 minute individual lessons
$225 for five lesson
This programme is suitable for adult beginners with no prior musical experience through to more advanced students pursuing exams and NCEA qualifications.
If you’re in search of a new creative endeavour, wanting to restart piano lessons after a break, or looking for support as you continue your music education, these lessons are designed to fit in with your goals.
The Exploration programme is specifically for adults and high school aged students. The Foundation and Expansion programmes are available for younger students.
Preferably, but there are options.
An acoustic or digital piano at your home is ideal, but if you have access to one located elsewhere that can also work. A keyboard is just fine for beginners, or anyone who’s learning for fun. Another option is to hire an acoustic or digital piano from a local music shop.
If you have an acoustic piano that needs to be tuned I recommend John Robinson.
Once you’ve completed the registration form and received an invoice, you’ll be sent a link to book your lessons online using Calendly.
Lessons scheduled during the day can be held at the Pianosaurus Rex studio in North New Brighton, or in the evening I can travel to your place. If you’re located within 5kms of North New Brighton there is no extra charge but if you’re outside this area then a $5 to $10 travel fee per lesson may apply.
Lessons need to be scheduled within six months of the original booking.
If your situation has changed and you can no longer take piano lessons, transferring remaining lessons to another person is a possibility.
Bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled in Calendly up to 24 hours before a lesson at no extra charge.
Lessons cancelled via email or phone within 24 hours may incur a partial fee. The full lesson fee will be charged for any missed lessons if no notice has been given via phone.
The more practice you can do, the more progress you’ll make. But sometimes your other commitments and interests will mean that practice just doesn’t happen, despite your best intentions!
On Demand lessons are designed to be flexible, so if you know you have a particularly busy time coming up it’s definitely possible to put off lessons and practice for a while.
In saying that, you may be surprised how much the prospect of an upcoming lesson will motivate you to get some piano practice done!
