Who am I?-

I'm a 28 year old pianist, vocalist, professional performer and songwriter with a Bachelor Degree in Music (Contemporary Performance) from The Australian Institute of Music, my Associate Degree in Performance from The Conservatorium of Music (TAS), and 8 years teaching experience.

I have been classically trained in piano since I was 5 years old, and at the age of 12 also began to incorporate a more contemporary approach to my playing, focusing around accompaniment, chord progressions and structure, jazz theory and aural skills. At the age of 15 I began my vocal training, and then went on to major in contemporary singing at University.

What value can I add to your, or your child's music education?

Having experience with both classical and contemporary teaching styles has lead me to understand the importance of students learning music from a variety of angles, and has also lead me to understand that some approaches will work for some students whereas they may not work for others. I pride myself on being adaptable to my students needs; whether it is exams you are wanting to prepare for, you want to learn a new hobby, you're a singer wanting to accompany yourself, you need mentorship on your career, you want to learn by ear or you want to read music, what ever it may be, I have no doubt that I can help you accomplish what you set out to do.

I am genuinely passionate about nurturing the growth of budding musicians, I want to see you realise your full potential and have fun at the same time. Music is a part of all of us, and I believe the teacher needs to have a genuine interest in the students to build a friendship & trust which is vital to their progression.

I look forward to hearing from you and starting or resuming your musical journey.

I operate from my home studio in Ripponlea, I may also be able to travel to a student for a travel fee.
