Teaching

Dr Brieley Cutting is an active performer who is also dedicated to teaching. She has over 20 years experience as a piano teacher and welcomes students to join her Studio who are dedicated to developing their skills.

​

​Brieley moved to Sydney in 2020, accepting the role of Lecturer in Classical Piano at the Australian Institute of Music until 2024. She has been teaching from her Studio in Forest Lodge since 2023, her cohort including talented young players, tertiary students and professional musicians. ​

 

Aspects of technique, sound production and style are central to Brieley's teaching, alongside emphasis to develop critical thinking and individual musicianship. For older students, discussion and advice is offered regarding development of career pathways.

 

Brieley ultimately works towards her students becoming self-sufficient learners and achieving their goals. Her students have graduated with bachelor and masters degrees, attained AMEB Diplomas, been prizewinners in piano competitions and eisteddfods, auditioned successfully for acceptance into performance focused tertiary degrees, and she has assisted professional pianists and piano teachers to deepen their knowledge and skills regarding technical issues, interpretation, advanced repertoire and collaborative performance. ​​​
