Paul and Gillian are the minds behind The Studio Program & Group Piano University, helping thousands of piano teachers from all around the world optimise their piano teaching success. Group Piano University was founded as the ultimate program creating better group piano piano classes and a better life for teachers. The Studio was founded to provide a much-needed global community for piano teachers whilst offering the Whole Body Learning approach, pioneered by Paul and Gillian, giving teachers more success and less stress. 

After leading the largest Forte School of Music with 800 students and 40 teachers for over two decades, Gillian now shares her wisdom with the next generation of teachers. Based on the sunny Gold Coast in Australia, she loves yoga, pilates, weight training, and is always up for a home renovation project. As a mother of two piano-playing sons who have left the nest, she now lives with her husband and three fur babies.

Paul likes to be on the move and can often be found running the foreshores of Sydney Harbour, coaching swimming, and running in marathons to raise funds for cancer research. He lives in Sydney Australia with his partner and loves to travel. He is currently working on his PhD in sensory motor integration (Whole Body Learning) and is in demand internationally as a presenter, speaker, educator, and guest lecturer at global music conferences, workshops, and events.
