About The Studio
Treviano Studio is a private teaching studio that trains students in the art of piano-playing. We are dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of music tuition in piano, theory and musicianship.

Treviano Studio places great importance on developing performance skills and encourages students to showcase their talents in studio recitals. To complement the weekly lesson we provide students the opportunity to participate in exams, competitions, concerts, workshops, masterclasses and group theory and musicianship classes. We also have a library of books and CD’s which are available to our students to further enrich their musical training. Through our program, many of our students have achieved outstanding results in exams and competitions.

We embrace a variety of teaching styles drawing upon our first-hand experience with internationally-acclaimed pianists and teachers. We encourage honest communication with parents and students and aim to provide a positive, encouraging and challenging learning environment.
