Absolutely Delighted with My Novus NV10s and the PianoMax Team!

I’d like to extend a huge thank you to the PianoMax team—especially Noville and Akari—for their outstanding service and the amazing price discount. I received my Novus NV10s this morning, and it has completely exceeded my expectations!
The sound quality is phenomenal, and the piano fits beautifully and comfortably in my living room. It’s not just an instrument—it’s a statement piece. The delivery team was punctual and professional, handling everything with great care and precision.
From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, friendly, and efficient. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend PianoMax to anyone looking for quality instruments and top-notch service!

After an initial lull in correspondence, Neville provided the necessary attention to my question regarding a trade-in deal on a pre-loved Yamaha grand piano. I will definitely be open to doing business with Pianomax in the future if the opportunity arises. Thanks!

The whole team at Pianomax is simply fantastic! Excellent customer service, they go above and beyond in every regard. Excellent pricing and accomodating attitude not to mention the variety of pianos they have. Been a pleasure doing business with them! Highly recommend them!!

I first spoke with Akari a week ago. Did some research, called back today and spoke with Jacqueline and Neville. Amazing service all around.

Went there to find a piano, and the people there were so nice and helpful. There was a great range of Grand, upright and digital pianos to choose from, as well as a wall of sheet music from many genres. Is good 🙂

An excellent family business.
Very helpful and generous owner who couldn’t have been more helpful.
I recommend this business if you’re looking to buy a piano.
I scrolled through the reviews to read other comments before deciding to purchase from this company.
All reviews were positive except one written two weeks ago.
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to one negative opinion compared with many positive experiences.

We purchased a Kawai digital piano for our daughter 1.5 years ago and absolutely loved it! The service, the price and the product were outstanding! After 18 months, the piano works perfectly. So, it’s a time-tested recommendation. I definitely, vote for PianoMax!

My daughter has really enjoyed her guitar lessons with Juan at Besharp. He’s a fantastic teacher — patient, encouraging, and really great at making each lesson fun and engaging. We’ve seen great progress, and she looks forward to every session. Highly recommend!

Juan has been an incredible piano teacher for my son. He’s patient, encouraging, and makes each lesson enjoyable while still challenging. My son has grown so much in both skill and confidence under Juan’s guidance. We’re very grateful to have found such a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Would highly recommend!

Juan is an excellent music teacher. My grandson has been taking drum lessons with him for about one year and he has advanced very much and best of all, is very happy with the lessons!

My son Liam starts his drums and piano journey with Juan since he was only four and half. We are very appreciated that Juan really brings him to the music ocean. He always introduces the best music books to the kids, especially for the young age like Liam. His way of teaching are also very interesting, he can make even the little kids settle and enjoying the music.

“I had a fantastic experience at Besharp Music school taking guitar lessons.
Juan was incredibly patient, very talented and is extremely passionate about music. He tailored each lesson to my skill level, making it very comfortable experience while improving my technique. I also loved the relaxed, professional and the encouraging atmosphere that made learning fun.

Highly recommend Juan to anyone looking to start or improve their guitar skills!”

We absolutely love Juan’s approach on teaching our daughter and his kindness is always appreciated. We can’t recommend enough Juan to other parents wanting their kids immerse in learning music….

Be Sharp Music – Piano Teacher has been absolutely fantastic for our son. Juan is brilliant with our son’s weekly lesson. Juan is extremely talented in music and a master pianist. I can absolutely recommend Be Sharp Music for a positive music journey.

My son has been learning guitar with Ryan at Adelaide Music School since 2023, and it’s honestly been one of the best things we’ve done for his personal development. Ryan is not only a talented musician but also a fantastic teacher—patient, encouraging, and great with kids. The progress my son has made in both skill and confidence has been remarkable. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking to support their child’s creativity and growth.

Our daughter has been taking guitar lessons for a few months. It’s great to see (and hear) the progress she is making with Ryan. Michelle creates a very welcoming environment. I can, without hesitation, highly recommend Adelaide Music World.

We’ve had such a positive experience at Adelaide Music World. From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm and personable, making us feel right at home. My son’s violin teacher was absolutely fantastic – not only highly skilled, but also able to build rapport with him very quickly, which made lessons enjoyable and effective.

The whole environment is very welcoming and professional. You can tell the teachers genuinely care about their students’ progress and love what they do. I would happily recommend this school to anyone – whether you have kids keen to learn an instrument or you’re an adult wanting to pick up something new. A great place to learn music!
Thanks, Michelle

Very welcoming and supportive music school, the kids love coming. Absolutely love the staff and the set up of the school. One particular highlight is that the school organises a concert (at an external venue) for the kids to perform to us. Such a great way for the students to grow in confidence and have a real go at showing their newly learnt skills. Thanks AMW

The staff is excellent with kids and I am seeing a lot of improvement in my daughter’s music skills since she has enrolled here. The studio is always clean, well lit with good instruments and the staff is polite and genuinely is interested in improving the kids music skills. They have group and private lessons tailored as per your needs. I would highly recommend any parent to enrol your kids to this academy.

Adelaide Music World is doing an amazing job to help my son to learn and progress with his music. The school is a friendly atmosphere with talented music teachers to help students with varied abilities and interests. My son loves to go to his piano lesson every week which is what every parent wants. Highly recommend, give them a try!

Zero stars..absolutely appalling behaviour from the owner…
I took my 15y.o step son for lessons in 2022 back when it was Forte School of Music (same owner)
Lesson times were frequently changed, as were the teachers ( who were inexperienced uni students) and my stepson didn’t want to return once the term was complete.
Fast forward to June 2025, my stepson receives a letter from a debt collector claiming money is owed for a term of 9 lessons which he never actually attended.
Needless to say he was distraught. I contacted the owner, and was met with hostility and aggression, and was hung up on.
We then received a hand delivered notice of intention that this matter was going to be taken to court.
I would avoid any dealings with this business and owner at all costs..there are plenty of other professional music teachers around..

Around 3mths ago I stumbled across the ARMI as I was looking for some vocal training. From the very start, Chris has been extremely welcoming and helpful. He paired me up with Phill, who has been absolutely perfect for what I am trying to achieve. These guys use modern techniques delivered in a way that keeps you engaged and motivated. My only regret is I didn’t find this place earlier! Can not recommend highly enough! Keep up the good work.

Fantastic teachers, and great environment.
Highly recommend.

Have been going to ARMI for the past 7-8 months and they have done nothing but be supportive and help myself get closer to the goals I am hoping to achieve. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to learn or improve on skills you already have!

Had to cancel an appointment within short notice and have recently had large medical expenses, Christian was very considerate of my situation and was able to refund my deposit as a one off so I appreciate that thankyou.

Great place awesome owners and very family orientated very inviting,do yourselves a favour go check them out.

Very talented team of coaches who are open to all genres. Love that about rock and metal, it’s so accepting

Amazing people! Amazing lesson. Definitely going back

I graduated from here in 2011 with a Bachelor of Depression and mild anxiety.

Just graduated with a Bachelor of Music Composition and I cannot wait to use it to excel my YouTube channel.

The “A night in havana” concert was great

Enjoyed the event n acoustics

Beautiful historic building

My son’s confidence and bass skills have grown tremendously with Barnabas. He looks forward to Strum and Connect each month, and the patient, tailored teaching makes all the difference.

Amazing first two guitar lessons with Barnabas. I was initially hesitant to begin lessons after 2 years of self guided learning but I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve already learnt. I’m excited to continue and see how much progress I make!

Super happy with my progress. Barnabas is a great teacher and very supportive of me and my endeavours. Honestly one of the best parts of my week 🙂

As a senior learner I find Barnabas a great teacher. Patient, Barnabas sets tasks that are challenging, but achievable. Would recommend as a teacher across all age groups.

I’ve had three lessons, and I’m stoked with my progress. I recommended Bossi to the guitarist I’m working with, and I recommend him to you, too.

Extremely helpful, and beginner friendly!

Barnabas is a great teacher…and very patient

The teachers are highly professional, patient, and detail-oriented. Their instruction ensures exceptional results, with a 100% pass rate in AMEB exams. They cater to both children and adults, making it a highly recommended school for anyone seeking quality music education.

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the rich world of traditional Chinese music, the Chinese School of Music and Art is the perfect place to begin your journey. As a beginner learning the Guzheng, a beautiful and ancient Chinese instrument, I’ve been enjoying this experience. The school offers a warm and welcoming environment, and my teacher has been nothing short of amazing.

From the first lesson, I felt supported and encouraged. My teacher’s patience and approachability have made learning the Guzheng a delightful experience. The way they explain everything step-by-step makes it easy to connect with both the instrument and the music itself. I’m truly enjoying every lesson, and it feels like I’m making steady progress every time I sit down to practice.

Although I am not Chinese, my teacher is slowly teaching me how to read and understand Guzheng music notes. I highly recommend the Chinese School of Music and Art to anyone interested in learning traditional Chinese instruments. The combination of expert instruction, a nurturing atmosphere, and the chance to immerse yourself in a new musical tradition makes this school a hidden gem. Don’t hesitate to check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Everyone is dedicated to the students development. I feel really at home.
