It’s my pleasure to share my experience with Jane Trotter! My son Surya resumed piano class after a gap of 4 years. And felt very fortunate to have found her after much research on the internet.

My story of Jane’s abilities and skills begins with excellent competency as a pianist, and her obvious delight in teaching. Jane is very patient, kind and understanding, how well Jane instructs, inspires and motivates a student.

Even as a person who was watching I learned some basics of Piano in the introductory session.

Clearly, Jane takes her profession seriously, with lots of commitment and enthusiasm.

Jane was a wonderful music teacher to me throughout the four years I was lucky enough to be taught by her. She always made sure to take my opinion into consideration when picking out music and has been very patient in her teaching style. She also ensured I was well prepared to take my piano exams, making the whole experience a lot less stressful. Not only did my music skills improve immensely, but I also really enjoyed attending the piano lessons. It was a great opportunity to do something a bit different from my everyday activities.

All three of my girls took piano lessons with Jane – each with their own interests and learning styles and we found Jane was able to adapt and motivate them in different ways. My girls relayed that they always felt so comfortable with Jane. She felt more like a ‘friend’ helping you rather than a ‘piano teacher’. She was very patient, kind and understanding and they loved going to her house as her piano was ‘really nice’ and the house, warm, quiet and calm. They also really liked how she tailored their music selection by trialling songs for them to pick. This strategy helped with motivating them through each week of practice. All of my girls bounced out of their music lesson with Jane and thoroughly enjoyed seeing her each week. We felt very fortunate to have found her!
