“I’m really happy to tell you that I got an excellent mark for my performance pieces in music…I just wanted to say thank you for everything. You’re an amazing teacher and I never would have gotten my mark without your help.”
Text from Year 12 student Cape Byron Steiner School Byron Bay

“Since going through 3 piano teachers with my girls, we have finally found you! You have given my two girls passion and the love for learning piano. Your dedication to your piano teaching is so valued by us. You have a way with teaching kids the piano. And I am quite certain that both my girls will love playing piano for life because we found the right teacher to teach them this.”
