Praise Adi

Hi! I'm Praise, a piano teacher with teaching experience since 2017.

Music Education and Qualifications

I completed my vocational high school education at SMK Negeri 12 Surabaya, Indonesia, majoring in Music with a specialization in Classical Piano, from 2014 to 2017.

In 2018, I achieved Distinction in ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory. In 2019, I also achieved Distinction in ABRSM Grade 8 Piano, demonstrating my advanced piano performance skills and understanding of music theory.

Teaching Experience

I have been teaching piano privately since 2017, working with students of different ages and skill levels. My teaching experience includes helping students develop piano technique, music reading, musical understanding, and performance skills.

From 2017 to 2025, I taught piano at Mazmur Music. I also worked as a piano teacher at Purwacaraka Music Studio, Margorejo, from 2023 to 2025.

Through these teaching experiences, I have developed an adaptable teaching approach that combines structured musical foundations with lessons tailored to each student's abilities, interests, and musical goals.

I teach both classical and pop piano, helping students build strong musical foundations while learning music they genuinely enjoy. Whether you want to develop your piano technique, explore classical repertoire, play your favorite pop songs, accompany singers, or learn to play keyboard in a band, I can help you work toward your musical goals.

My online lessons are primarily designed for students aged 11 and above, including teenagers and adults who are beginners or looking to develop their existing skills.

Beyond our live lessons, I provide supplementary practice videos to help you review what you've learned and practice independently at home. I also provide a PDF progress report every four months so you can track your development and understand what to focus on next.

My goal is to help every student become a confident, independent musician who enjoys making music.

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and adaptable to each student's needs and musical interests.

I believe learning piano should be both educational and enjoyable. I help students develop good technique, rhythm, note reading, musical expression, and confidence while making room for the songs they love.

For students who enjoy classical music, I introduce suitable repertoire based on their current ability and progress. For students who prefer contemporary music, we can work on pop songs, chord patterns, accompaniment, and practical keyboard skills.

I encourage students to ask questions, learn at a comfortable pace, and develop good practice habits. During our online lessons, I provide guidance and feedback tailored to each student's progress.

My aim is not simply to help students play individual pieces, but to give them the skills and understanding they need to enjoy playing music independently.
