Aural Skills Training

I am very passionate about helping people achieve their goals and paving the way for future creatives. I am an experienced piano teacher, professional music producer and performer. Give me a call to discuss your goals. I will customise a plan for you.

I have been playing piano for over 20 years and completed my AMEB 8th grade in 2007 under Julliard School of music (NY) graduate and concert pianist Vaila Mead. I hold a Bachelor of Music from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Alongside teaching I am a professional music producer, audio engineer and artist working in the industry with experience in all styles of music including: classical, jazz, pop, electronic, rock and metal.

I teach from my home studio in West End (near ALDI) for $35/half hour lesson.
