He was classically trained from the age of six years old and began teaching beginner students at the age of fifteen years as part of my curriculum.

Working with a wide variety of groups and orchestras gave me the experience and versatility that makes Ian the composite teacher that he is today.

Playing as a Piano-Bar Entertainer with the Cruise Ship Industry and also in many of the leading five-star hotels, including the Brisbane Hilton and Sheraton Hotels has also opened up another area of teaching and guidance which is invaluable.

Whether the student is six or ninety-six years old, music is meant to be both enjoyable and rewarding, and this is what you will enjoy working with him in the twenty-first century.
