The European Piano Academy (EPA) was founded by professional pianist and teacher Illya Zozulya with the aim of bringing the best traditions of European and Russian piano teaching methods to Australian students. All teachers working with EPA are trained and skilled to apply the piano teaching methods of the Russian and European piano schools. At EPA we focus on emotional and mental aspects of performance, while making our students technically sound in the art of playing the piano. We help students to pursue their goals, with many of them securing music scholarships in some of the best music schools in Sydney. We also prepare students for important examinations like High School Certificate exams, Grades 1-8 Piano exams, Amus, Lmus, “Piano for Leisure” exams and prepare them for Musicianship/theory assessment exams for the Australian Music Examinations Board. With realistic goals being set based on each student’s individual abilities and current level of progress.
