I have been teaching piano and theory for nearly 25 years. The first lessons I gave were in Hobart, Tasmania Australia as adjunct faculty to the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music. This was during my final year in my under graduate degree in piano performance. Upon taking residence at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to complete my Master's in performance, I took on new students as a private instructor. I developed greatly as a piano instructor and developed a passion for teaching. Watching and listening to students as their techniques grow and expand is a marvelous thing. My instructors in piano taught in the great traditions of their te...

I believe as a musician, it is my responsibility to pass on knowledge that I gained from the master musicians and teachers I studied with to the next generation of musicians, young or old. I strive to relate to my students and teach them things that matter to them as well as pass on things that I've learned from my years of experience as well. I love music and I love teaching. Doing both together is the dream! I enjoy helping people love music even more than they already do. I get so charged an electrified when I see a student ...
