A Bit about me

---

As a teacher, my biggest goal is to pass on my personal love of music  and all it encompasses to my students, and to enable them to enjoy  playing and learning for themselves for the rest of their lives. I feel  called to create a deeper impact in my students’ lives that includes —  but also exceeds — learning how to play piano.

I believe that a holistic sense of musicianship (understanding  theory, history, performance practice, composition and improvisation,  and so much more!) is crucial to a child’s real enjoyment of music, not  just completing exams (although they are very useful too!). Music works  wonders for their cognitive development, and in my studio, my goal is to  give my students a sense of love, belonging, good character building,  work ethic, and hopefully many happy memories!

Having been teaching since 2016, I have also been consistently  applying myself to gaining more experience, training, and qualification.  I recently graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor  of Music, focusing on performing for the first two years and composition  for the last year. Before that, I completed all eight AMEB Piano  grades, and also went on to complete the Certificate of Performance. I  am currently studying a Masters of Teaching (Primary and Secondary) degree, and I plan on  pursuing all other certifications necessary for me to be the best  teacher I can for all my students.  I hold a current Victorian Working  With Children Check and Police Check.
