Welcome!
Learning to play the piano is an incredible journey filled with endless benefits. It not only boosts brain development but also enhances self-expression and personal fulfillment. I am eager to share my knowledge and skills with you. Read on to find out more about who I am and what I do!
About Me
Piano playing is a skill that I started developing as a child and improved on for many years. Along the way, I earned a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and a Master of Teaching (Music) from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. Achievements like winning the Joan Earle Classical Prize (Monash) and the USCI International Gold Award (Malaysia) fuelled my determination to keep going. Performing with orchestras such as the Monash Academy Orchestra and the Australian International Opera Company boosted my confidence being on stage. With almost twelve years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of working with loving students and parents, and appreciated the connections and insights that they have brought to my practice. I have served as the treasurer for the Victorian Music Teachers Association and the 2024 Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference.
Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow
Music is a phenomenon that is deeply fascinating to me. The more profound a musical experience, the less there is to say about it. Floating along the Dao towards blissful Samadhi. Music exemplifies the Hermetic principles in sound form. The music learning experience offers much personal growth.
Let’s Get Going!
More concretely, at my studio, learning to play the piano centres around personalised, in-person coaching sessions where improvement is measured and guided using a rubric. During lessons, we focus on refining playing technique and expanding repertoire. Beyond lessons, students also develop theory, composition, improvisation, performance, and aural skills during Music Club on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Fun excursions give students novel experiences to look forward to and exercise their independence. Thanks for reading!
