Piano Lessons

*******************************************
UPDATE: 2016
I am now only taking new students who are 10 years and older, and adult students of all levels.

*******************************************

Hello! I have 30 years experience teaching both privately, in my own business and in schools. I was the Director/Owner of The Music Collective for 10 years, and now teach exclusively from my home based studio.

I have a Bachelor of Music specialising in Piano teaching from the School of Music, Melbourne University (now know again as The Conservatorium of Music), under Dr. Ian Hotham. I also have my A. Mus. A and a fairly good sense of humour and loads of patience – which is just as important in my opinion.

From 2005 to 2010 I was the Conductor and Musical Director of Squawkestra (www.squawkestra.com.au), which is an orchestra for adult beginners, so I have a soft spot for adult learners. Teaching adults, whether it be as a complete beginner, or a returning player is my particular interest. You are never to old to start, or if you always regretted giving up as a moody 13 year old – yes, you can get back into it now. And go well too!

Please feel free to contact me and have a chat about lessons, you will get a much better sense of my style of teaching and I will be able to understand your interests.

All students must own their own instrument – piano or good quality keyboard. You can’t learn if you have nothing to practise on!

Please note that I do not teach jazz improvisation.
