I completed my music and education degree in 1989. Because my degree included a high level of advanced music studies in conjunction with in-depth teacher training, it gave me excellent preparation for teaching both music classes and one-on-one piano tuition. During my university years I majored in advanced piano with Dr David Jones. After graduating I also continued further piano studies, including completing my AMusA diploma in piano performance.
I always enjoy staying up-to-date with ongoing professional development, and over the years have participated in masterclasses with Gordon Watson, Gerard Willems, Philip Shovk, Warren Thompson, Clemens Leschke, Danielle Salamon, Richard Morphew, Simon Tedeschi, and Gilbert de Greeve.
I am a fully accredited member of both the NSW and Victorian Music Teacher Associations.
