Summary

Actively performing piano for 15 years and as an experienced piano and theory teacher travelling from Australia to Canada, one of my biggest personal goals as a teacher is to be able to develop individuality, creativity and virtuosity in my students. I love being able to share my enthusiasm and passion for music with students of all ages.


As an emerging performing artist and growing student, being able to collaborate with different musicians, communicating and inventing creative project ideas are the root to my inspirations in this career field.
