Sydney piano school

Individual teachers. One academy standard.

Fortepiano Academy is becoming a formal piano school with a deliberately developed faculty, shared planning and consistent reporting standards.

Only approved, named teachers are published here. As the faculty grows, teachers are selected, inducted and supported before independent student allocation.

Liana Pavlicheva

Founder & Head Teacher

Training and background

Liana completed a full Russian music-school pathway in Moscow, including piano, performance, solfeggio, music literature and choir.

Teaching approach

Lessons are structured, warm and serious about progress, whether taught at the Wentworth Point studio or on the student's piano at home.

Academy leadership

Liana leads assessment, student placement, term planning and the development of shared teaching and reporting standards.

How the academy is building its teaching team

01 / Selection

Teaching experience, musicianship, judgement and communication with students and families.

02 / Supervised induction

Observation of academy lessons followed by supported teaching before independent allocation.

03 / Ongoing oversight

Term plans, progress records, examinations and student concerns remain within one academy system.

A formative music-school education

Liana grew up inside a serious music-learning environment. Her own training in performance, discipline and musical culture now informs the way she guides students and develops the academy's standards.

Begin with the academy assessment

The Initial Assessment gives the student a real teaching session and gives the academy the information needed to recommend a pathway.
