MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Learn skills for life-long enjoyment. My teaching style focuses on skills training, with an emphasis on improvisation to encourage your exploration and development of your unique passion.
TUITION OPTIONS
Learn Skills for Life-Long Enjoyment
BEGINNER KIDS (Ages 5+)
Fun Game Orientated Lessons
Lessons for young children include improvisation, rhythm and sight-reading skills. With an emphasis on learning for enjoyment, many skills are introduced in the form of musical games and exercises. Sight-reading is introduced after the first 1-2 months of getting to know the instrument and a feel for interacting with different musical styles.
BEGINNER ADULTS
No Stress Learning Environment
We all have busy lives and different amounts of time we can apply to our learning. Lessons are tailored to your learning interests and pace. Learn to play your favourite songs from the beginning, so you stay motivated! Build strong piano technique, read music with an easy-to-understand step-by-step process, and learn HOW to practice effectively.
INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS
Personalised Lesson Plans
If you are returning to the piano after taking a break or are interested in trying a new approach, I can create lesson plans to suit your needs and abilities. I can cater to students preparing for examinations (School or AMEB), auditions, or those learning purely for the joy of music. Styles taught include classical, contemporary classical, jazz, and pop/rock.
