About Me
I love teaching all young children to play the piano. I specialise in working with children from as young as 3 years of age but also teach older students to Grade 12 and adults. I specially enjoy developing a genuine love of music in all its expression and helping others to achieve their musical dreams. Visit my website to learn more: (contact me)
I encourage students of all ages to play for leisure or to undertake music examinations. I accompany students for exams, as well as for auditions and concerts.
Learning piano features many activities that students of the 21st century need for brain development and acceleration. Every one has musical ability. Playing the piano increases memory and reasoning capacity, time management skills and eloquence. Playing piano improves concentration, memory and self expression.
Playing the piano improves the ability to think. Music training improves verbal memory. Learning music through piano helps under-perfoming students to improve. Music students are more likely to be good citizens.

My Musical Education Background
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy and Music Education and a Master of Music Degrees.

Previously, Accompanist at the Sydney Conservatory Accompanist Guild, Sydney and the Australian Music Examination Board; and a Piano Examiner for the St Cecilia Examination Board, Tasmania, Australia.
I have worked for 14 years in Sydney Australia teaching piano in various schools and privately in my studio.
