My nine year old son has been learning piano with Gillian Gurtler for the past 3 years. From the first lesson, Gill’s love of music and passion for teaching shone through. She tailors his lessons to suit his interests and learning style, whilst ensuring his musical and instrumental skills are developing and strengthening week by week.
My son has particularly enjoyed performing in the concerts Gill has arranged, the success he has had taking AMEB exams, and the opportunity Gill provides in his lessons to improvise and compose. I have been amazed to watch his confidence, focus and self discipline grow alongside his skill and love of music.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a remarkable and highly skilled music educator.

Gill is a patient, supportive and nurturing educator. She has worked with my two children over the last few years and supported them to be passionate, excited, and appreciative of music. My kids love lessons with Gill and it's clear she has built strong rapport and connections with them both.

All three of my sons have learnt piano with Gill over the last 12 years. She has a fantastic way of wrapping the lesson around the individual’s needs, interests and energy levels on any particular day. She provides opportunity for performance in a supported and positive environment, and is welcoming, warm and inclusive. Gill’s technical and theoretical knowledge is so proficient that she is able to easily break it down for any learning style. Gill has given us a lasting legacy and I would highly recommend her as a piano teacher.
