European Piano Academy

European Piano Academy is a specialist piano education provider founded by professional pianist and teacher Illya Zozulya with the mission of bringing the traditions and teaching methods of European and Russian piano schools to students in Australia. The academy offers professional piano lessons for all ages and skill levels — from young children and beginners through to adults and advanced learners — with a strong emphasis on developing technical ability, musical expression, cognitive focus and emotional engagement through a balanced and personalised approach.

The Academy’s programs include one‑on‑one lessons delivered in studio or at home, as well as preparation for AMEB grade exams (Grades 1–8), AMusA/LMusA diplomas, music scholarships, performance auditions and school music assessments. Students are also given opportunities to perform in annual concerts in professional venues, supporting both performance confidence and artistic growth. European Piano Academy’s target audience includes children, teens and adult learners — whether they are learning piano for enrichment, academic performance, competitive exams or long‑term musical development — and its unique value lies in combining rigorous European/Russian pedagogy with individualised goal setting and supportive teaching that nurtures both technical skills and a lifelong love of music.
