Piano Teacher

AYAMA: Australian Yoga and Music Academy

Piano Lessons

Anna has been teaching piano to students of all ages and levels for over 15 years and has trained and performed as a pianist in Australia and around the world. Lessons are held in a purpose built music studio and students are offered regular opportunities to perform in a 40 seat performance space.
Each lesson is tailored to suit the needs of the individual student while the ultimate aim for each student is to provide them with the skills and knowledge to be able to express themselves in music with complete freedom and creativity. When appropriate, Anna draws on her yoga training to complement and enhance a piano lesson. At times yoga postures are used to increase energy and concentration while breath awareness is taught to improve mental focus and clarity during practicing sessions and when performing.
