Donna Magrath Singing Piano Recording

Donna Magrath, B.Mus.Sc. is fully qualified as a graduate of the Qld Conservatorium of music, and has other tertiary teaching qualifications. She has been teaching piano, singing, musicianship, stagecraft, theory, and general musicology since 1984, and uses a holistic approach to development technical astuteness and performance confidence in her students.

All students of all ages and levels are required, as part of their instrumental and/or vocal development, to develop their musicianship and theory skills not only by learning the fundamentals of music in a safe and encouraging environment but also by composing their own music and recording it where appropriate.

Musical development is enhanced through a positive reinforcement programme specifically designed to eliminate both the usual, and often chronic, feelings of anxiety around performing on stage. A musical therapeutic approach caters for singers and pianists who may be troubled by past traumatic performance experiences. The program also benefits adults and teens who are looking for fun self-expression. This gentle, positive approach is fundamental to the coaching environment from the very first lesson and has proven to be successful time after time.

Donna also specialises in musical theatre training, ATAR preparation, university auditions, AMEB exams, coaching for competitions and auditions, and a variety of other areas of interest.
