SthSide Project

Piano Lessons in Melbourne’s Inner South & Bayside

At SthSide Project, we offer thoughtful, high-quality music education with a personal touch. Our lessons are designed to help students build confidence, skill and genuine enjoyment in music, whether they are complete beginners or already have experience.

With a focus on strong foundations, creativity and individual support, we offer piano and singing lessons that meet students where they are and help them grow at their own pace.

Piano lessons

We offer one-on-one piano lessons tailored to each student’s age, level and goals. Whether you are looking for beginner piano lessons for your child, a supportive teacher for a teen, or lessons as an adult new to music or returning, we create a learning experience that is structured, engaging and encouraging.

Lessons can support:

  • complete beginners

  • students continuing from previous lessons

  • children learning music for fun, confidence and creativity

  • students wanting stronger technical and musical foundations

  • students completing exams such as AMEB or ANZCA

  • adult students learning for enjoyment or personal development

Our teaching approach combines musicianship, technique, listening, expression and confidence building, with lessons adapted to suit each learner.

Singing Lessons in a Supportive Setting

We also offer personalised singing lessons for students wanting to develop vocal confidence, musicality and healthy technique in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Singing lessons are tailored to the student’s age, experience and interests, and can support both beginners and developing young singers. Our singing lessons are one-on-one or in small groups up to 3 students.

We offer piano and singing lessons during the school day at Elwood Primary School, giving families a convenient way to access quality music tuition on campus.

Lessons are available in English and Spanish and are tailored to each student’s age, level and interests in a supportive one-on-one setting.

A key part of SthSide Project is our multilingual approach. We offer selected music lessons in English and Spanish, creating a more inclusive and culturally rich learning experience for students and families who value language alongside music.

For some students, learning in a familiar language helps build confidence and connection. For others, it offers a unique opportunity to combine musical development with language exposure in a natural and meaningful way.

A Creative and Personal Approach

SthSide Project brings together music, language and culture in a way that feels personal, thoughtful and genuinely engaging. We believe great teaching should be warm, skilful and responsive to the individual, and that learning should build not only ability, but confidence, curiosity and enjoyment.

Our aim is to create lessons and programs that feel human, high-quality and enriching for every student.
