Music Teacher
Singing, Piano and Music Theory
I teach singing, piano and music theory to all ages at Penrith Conservatorium (the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre), students’ homes around the Western Sydney area, my home, and online (Skype or Zoom). I have been teaching since 2016 at such schools as Penrith Conservatorium, Griffiths Music School, Cadence Music School and my own business. I have prepared multiple students for their AMEB grades and HSC Music in this time. In 2022 I was featured as a music teacher in the “Western Sydney’s young gamechangers taking on the world” article by Penrith Press (The Daily Telegraph).
With regard to singing I’m a classically trained vocalist, having a great interest in vocal pedagogy and maintaining optimal vocal health across different styles such as pop, jazz, classical and musical theatre. I am passionate about nurturing the voice to be produced as comfortably and effortlessly as possible, releasing vocal tension through the development of a healthy vocal technique. I have deeply studied the vocal release methods of the Swedish Italian School proposed by The David Jones Voice Studio.
I am also trained in classical piano, having gone through my AMEB grades and intently studying music theory and ear training at The Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Similarly to singing, I teach beginner to intermediate-level piano across a range of musical styles and method books (John Thompson, Alfred’s Basic Piano, P Plate Piano, AMEB Classical Piano, AMEB Piano For Leisure, etc) according to the student’s learning preferences. I make sure to regularly integrate music theory knowledge into my teaching and I also give theory lessons separately if a student would first like to know the fundamentals before playing.
