About
Hello. I am a piano and music theory teacher based in Strathmore, Melbourne.
In my lessons, I emphasise theoretical understanding and the development of proper technique so students may cultivate an appreciation for the inner workings of a piece and acquire the tools necessary to play at their best. I believe that when students achieve a degree of fluency and feel comfortable with their instrument, they will derive greater enjoyment from playing music.
I aim to uphold a high standard of classical pedagogy inspired by the liberal arts, which seeks to provide a holistic and integrative approach towards education, drawing upon a breadth of subjects to better elucidate the art of music.
If you are interested in my services as a teacher, you can contact me via the form below.
