Teaching Piano is the best job in the world...
…But it isn’t all roses.
Beginners quit.
Lessons get cancelled.
Parents chase makeup lessons. We get it.
And while you're pouring your heart into young musicians, big publishers take the profit — while you do all the work.
We think that’s backwards.
We can’t stop cancellations, but we can give you a stunning, branded method book your students (and their parents) will love.
It’s simple: order books printed with your logo, resell them to students, and keep up to 200% of your investment.
That’s not a supplier relationship — that’s a 50:50 partnership.
Music to your ears?
What are the books?
They’re thoughtfully designed, professionally printed piano method books — built to support great teaching and make you look good.
Each copy is custom-branded with your logo, filled with beautifully structured, pedagogically sound content, and includes QR codes throughout that link students directly to short, clear companion videos. These videos reinforce key concepts between lessons — without replacing you as the teacher.
You purchase the books at a wholesale rate, then resell them to your students at full RRP, keeping the margin for your studio — often up to 200% of your purchase price, depending on the pack you choose.
Because you’re not just delivering the lessons.
You’re shaping the experience, the outcomes, and the confidence your students build.
You’re the reason it all works.
And it’s about time the books reflected that.
What quality are the books?
Every Master the Piano book is produced using professional, commercial-grade printing — the same standard used for high-end educational and retail publications.
Each book is printed on 128gsm coated silk paper, chosen specifically for music learning. It’s smooth and durable, easy to write on, and forgiving when students need to erase and correct their work. The finish reduces glare under studio lighting and feels genuinely beautiful under the hand, encouraging regular, confident use.
The result is a book that feels substantial, professional, and designed to last — something students are proud to own and teachers are happy to put their name on.
How do I earn any money from selling the books?
Simple — you purchase your own studio-branded student packs at wholesale pricing, then resell them directly to your students at full RRP.

💰 Potential return: up to $701 profit per order
📈 That’s around a 200% return on your investment
Every student receives a premium, professionally branded learning pack — and your studio earns meaningful margin on every enrolment.
How do I get paid then?
Simple. You purchase your studio-branded books from us, and we handle the printing and delivery directly to you.
Once they arrive, you sell the books directly to your students as part of your enrolment or lesson materials, keeping the full margin for your studio.
We provide a recommended retail price in your purchase pack to help guide you, but this price is not printed on the books. That means you’re free to set pricing that suits your studio, your families, and your teaching model.
No subscriptions.
No royalties.
No ongoing fees.
Just clear, upfront pricing — and income that stays with you.
Who are you guys?
We’re teachers — just like you.
Master the Piano was created by a team of experienced music educators who grew tired of overpriced, uninspiring method books that made teaching harder, not easier. So we built something better: a structured, modern piano methoddesigned to work in real studios, with real students.
We write and design every book ourselves, print them in-house on premium stock, and custom-brand each copy with your studio’s logo. There are no middlemen and no publishing machine taking a cut — just a direct, fair partnership that rewards the people doing the work.
Because the best results don’t come from big publishers.
They come from great teachers.
Sounds good! I have one last question though...
No problem at all. We’re a local Australian business, and caring about teachers and music education isn’t a slogan for us — it’s genuinely all we do.
If you have a question, want advice, or just want to talk it through, simply drop us an email at:

Which book is right for you?
Daniel has been teaching piano for over 23 years, beginning private tuition at just 16 years old. Today, he leads one of South Australia’s largest privately run music schools, supporting more than 500 students and a team of 16 passionate educators.
Over two decades of teaching, Daniel has guided hundreds of pianists — from nervous beginners to confident, advanced performers — and helped shape meaningful musical journeys for students of all ages.
Master the Piano didn’t begin as a business idea. It began as a growing collection of worksheets Daniel created for his own students, born out of frustration with method books that felt outdated, uninspiring, or underestimated students’ intelligence.
As he puts it:
“My daughter hated the childish illustrations in most books — and so did I. Kids deserve better than cartoons and clichés. If you treat them like mini-professionals, they rise to the challenge.”
At its core, Master the Piano reflects Daniel’s belief that students thrive when given the right tools, clear structure, and high expectations. The method was built to help young pianists learn in a way that is musically healthy, ambitious, and genuinely enjoyable — without talking down to them.
About the Authors
Daniel Sherwood
Erin Carnegie-Brown
Erin is a highly experienced music educator, composer, and creative practitioner who contributed significantly to the pedagogical development of Master the Piano.
Erin holds a Bachelor of Music in Advanced Composition from the University of Adelaide’s Elder Conservatorium, and her work spans professional theatrical productions, original composition, and arrangements performed by musicians both locally and internationally.
Her role in Master the Piano included main editor as well as shaping aspects of the pedagogical approach, theory sequencing, and repertoire, as well as acting as an early tester of the material. Erin worked through the content with real students, providing practical, classroom-tested feedback to ensure the method was not only musically rigorous, but genuinely effective in one-to-one teaching environments.
At the heart of Erin’s teaching philosophy is a belief in individualised learning. She is deeply aware of how discouraging it can feel for students to fall behind or lose confidence, and her goal has always been not just to teach, but to uplift — helping students feel capable, supported, and empowered in their learning.
Her contribution helped ensure Master the Piano is thoughtful, musically ambitious, and grounded in real-world teaching practice — supporting students not just to learn piano, but to grow as confident, creative individuals.
