SONIC PLAYROOM

Ari has been teaching both my sons piano since they were 4yrs old. He is an oustanding teacher, very dedicated with incredible patience. He inspires my children and knows how to get them to focus to play quality music. Thanks to Ari, my older son is now at the Conservatorium High School. I highly recommend him.

Ari has been teaching both my boys piano for the last year and a half. They both really enjoy the lessons and the pieces they are learning. Ari has a great studio space setup. He has been excellent with both boys, who have different musical skills and temperaments. He has been very patient and encouraging through some challenging music pieces, and helping them get to a high standard of knowledge and musicality. I would highly recommend Ari

Ari has been teaching my son piano for the past 9 years. He is a dedicated and experienced teacher and always thorough with his teaching. Very happy with his professionalism and how he delivers lessons. Would highly recommend Ari if you are after an experienced well rounded teacher with fantastic musicianship.

My daughter (now 6 yrs old) started learning the piano with Ari about a year ago and she has made great progress. I think Ari is an excellent teacher because he is passionate about music, he communicates very clearly especially with young children and he emphasises on good technique, rhythm and musicality which are essentials for playing well. He values quality over quantity and all the students that I've seen in his concert play very nicely. Even though we have moved house to the far north of Sydney we still make the trip to go to Ari for lessons. I highly recommend Ari to other parents who ask me about piano lessons.

Learning with Ari has been such a fun and rewarding experience for me. Picking up piano has been my covid hobby and Ari has made all my adult lessons super easy to understand and motivating. He tailored all the sessions to fit my level, with a balanced mix of fundamental theory and music pieces I love. I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons and my skills have significantly improved in such a short period. Thank you Ari!!!!

Ari is highly supportive, kind and immensely skilled, and knows the balance of keeping a lesson lighthearted and making it firm and strict when needed most. This atmosphere makes it inviting to play piano yet learn and ace piano exams to the best degree. I have been with Ari for around 4 years and he not only supports my exam pieces and learning ails but chooses to help me on pieces I’m willing to learn for leisure, which not many teachers do. If you want to enjoy piano and learn with the hands of professionalism, call Ari!

As an adult (complete beginner) learning from Ari for the last 3 years, the impossible is now possible and I can play things i expected to take years to learn.He isn't just a fantastic piano player with great knowledge and experience - he is able to effectively translate that experience to teaching which is what elevates him as a teacher.I tried one other teacher before him and found I needed more structure and direction, whilst having the flexibility that wasn't attached to traditional progression through grades. I was interested in playing for leisure and my private classes with Ari offer that structure and flexibility whilst catering too to the student's needs, rather than a one size fits all approach.Ari is motivating, patient, passionate and thorough and a genuinely nice guy to have as a teacher!

Ari has taught our two children for almost 10 years. A gifted pianist and composer himself, he is an outstanding teacher who has instilled a deep love of piano music in our 9-year-old son. With his support, both our children excelled in the AMEB exams. Ari is patient and focused on developing great skills in his students through a well-structured approach to piano study. My son loves going every week and Ari works hard to prepare him for exams while ensuring he maintains the joy and fun of music. Ari’s students range from little ones to adults, and he keeps all age groups motivated and inspired. I have no hesitation in recommending his piano lessons.

Ari has taught my daughter Ava and done an excellent job. He is thorough, appropriately demanding but still patient with his students. We found that Ava progressed quickly and was committed to practice and implementing Ari's lessons and advice. I would recommend Ari without hesitation, he is an excellent teacher.

My son has been attending piano lessons with Ari for over 3 years. Ari has taught him the basic structures during his development while at the same time keeping him challenged with more demanding pieces which my son often requests. He comes home full of enthusiasm towards the next piece he is learning and always looks forward to the next lesson. Ari has also installed in him a discipline of daily practise, it has been so pleasing watching the growth of his piano skills and his enjoyment. I highly recommend Ari for piano tuition.
