About Your Teacher
As a child, I started with graded exams, gradually realising my passion for piano playing. I pursued this passion through my studies, earning a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and a Master of Teaching from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. Along the way, achievements like winning the Joan Earle Classical Prize (Monash) and the USCI International Gold Award (Malaysia) fuelled my determination to keep improving. Performing with orchestras such as the Monash Academy Orchestra and the Australian International Opera Company significantly boosted my confidence on stage. With over a decade of teaching experience, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of students and parents. Currently, I serve as the treasurer for the Victorian Music Teachers Association and am involved in organising the 2024 Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference.
Connection
Developing honest and caring relationships with my students and their families is important to me. These kinds of relationships allow me to have candid conversations with you and your child so that we can work together as a team to set and achieve goals, discuss and share concerns, and motivate each other to do our best work. Becoming a part of my studio means growing and achieving together.
Why Learn?
Learning to play the piano is an incredible journey that not only enhances brain development but also brings a wealth of benefits. From improving proprioceptive and abstract thinking skills to fostering discipline and achieving goals, the piano offers a gateway to a rich cultural world of sound, movement, and art. Plus, the joy of playing the piano is simply irresistible! Discover the rewards of piano playing and unlock your potential today.
Let's Grow!
At my studio, learning to play the piano centres around personalised, in-person coaching sessions where improvement is measured and guided using a clear rubric. Each week, we focus on mastering playing techniques and expanding repertoire. Beyond individual sessions, students also learn theory, practice composition, and build a supportive community through digital concerts and games. They enhance musical appreciation and independence with concert outings and boost performance confidence through studio recitals. To keep everyone motivated, I use a points-based rewards system, reinvesting in my students and their families every step of the way.
