Teaching Style

Teaching in line with the European standards, I am flexible and use Australian experience in my work. I enjoy teaching students and strive to establish a friendly, interactive atmosphere within a lesson. Being motivated and enthusiastic I encourage students to appreciate music of different styles. My approach to teaching and an ability to reveal the individual musical potential of each student always lead to results exceeding expectations. I specialise in providing music instruction to children and adults, preparing them for AMEB exams, although some students express interest in taking Piano for Leisure or prefer to work outside the exam structure.
