I began studying classical piano and voice at an early age. I later moved on to study contemporary, musical theatre and rock singing. Actively seeking training from multiple teachers I sought to develop my voice to encompass a broad range of styles while broadening my understanding of the way the voice works. I have over 20 years of performance experience in corporate/cover acts and original bands, I have performed around Australia the USA and China and have written and recorded 2 original Albums and 3 EP’s and 2 original cabaret shows. I have my grade 6 AMEB classical piano and grade 6 Trinity College classical voice qualification.
While I still perform and write, teaching has become my passion.
Driven by my love for music and the immense wholistic benefits awarded to those who participate in it, my teaching style focuses on developing confidence, autonomy, discipline, technique and creative expression. While finding fun ways to instil an understanding of music fundamentals, beat, rhythm, pitch, expression, theory and music reading.
I find it is utterly fulfilling to see my students grow and develop.
Having completed my grade 6 AMEB classical piano and grade 6 Trinity College classical voice qualification, I am able to take piano students to grade 4 AMEB, classical voice students to grade 2 AMEB and contemporary or rock school voice to grade 5 AMEB.
After building my teaching practice to teach voice and piano across 4 locations in Melbourne VIC, including pre-primary music classes and working as a tutor for the Australian girl’s choir, during the global crisis, I moved my teaching practice online. I later moved to Newcastle NSW and taught over 50 wonderful students through National Music Academy. Following my heart, I now live off-grid in the southern region of Western Australia where I teach in-person and online to students from all over Australia and even some internationally.
The musical adventure continues.
