Hi, I’m Lauren

I share my extensive piano skills and knowledge with adults to enable them to reach their musical and personal goals.

About Your Teacher

Lauren Carey Kevin, pianist and online piano teacher

Lauren Carey Kevin

A life-long musician, I have been playing the piano for three decades.

Following my training in Piano Performance at the prestigious Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne, Australia, I have performed, arranged and composed music across classical and contemporary styles.

I began teaching the piano in 2010 and over the years have taught in Australia, the United Kingdom and my homeland of New Zealand.

In 2023, I combined my skills to launch specialist adult piano lessons in the online space.

I would love to connect with you and join you on your piano journey - from here in Sydney, Australia to wherever you are in the world!

“Each person is unique - and I believe that piano lessons should reflect this, adapting to meet the individual wherever they are at.”

— Lauren Carey Kevin

Hear Me Play

18th Variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - Sergei Rachmaninov

My skills as a pianist are an essential asset in supporting my students to reach their goals.

It is a privilege to share my experience at the piano with my students.

I demonstrate specific piano techniques, create tailored exercises, and draw on my broad understanding of music performance to inform my students in their interpretation of both classical and contemporary music.

As a piano teacher, my focus is on developing independent pianists. I often refer to my practical experience of different approaches when talking about a passage of music, so that you understand how to “think” piano and make musical decisions for yourself.

Experience

My adult piano students are eager to understand musical concepts - from technique to expression to theory and more.

I am committed to following the interests and curiosities of each individual and integrating these into the learning journey.

This student-centred approach creates independent and fulfilled learners at the piano.
