Are you looking for music lessons for your child? Or are you ready to take a step on your own journey in music? I offer individual piano lessons for all ages.
Develop as a whole musician!
My lessons are based on Dr E. Gordon's Music Learning Theory, applied to piano lessons by Marilyn Lowe in her series Music Moves for Piano.
Music Learning Theory (MLT) is a richly researched theory of how music is learned, MLT draws elements from the vast history and research of many renowned pedagogues including Kodaly, Orff, Dalcroze Eurythmics and also incorporates the work of Laban, a leading movement theorist and pioneer of modern dance.
The underlying goal of MLT is to develop ‘audiation,’ which essentially means to listen, hear and imagine with understanding. This is the key to empowering YOU to be the best musician you can be.
Audiation is similar to the Kodaly philosophy of ‘sound before symbol,’ but a key point of difference is the emphasis in MLT on the rhythmic and harmonic context of the sound or pattern.
A vocabulary of familiar patterns is established within the different rhythmic contexts (duple, triple or unusual metre), and harmonic contexts (major, minor, dorian mode, mixolydian mode etc.). This is important as the context gives real meaning to sound, and understanding it enables musicians to engage better in the music, especially in creative endeavours.
I have always loved music, and have played a wide variety of genres including classical, jazz and contemporary.
I completed a Bachelor of Music (Performance and Pedagogy), and have been mentored by a number of well established music teachers over the last five years.
I love music and the power it has to change lives. My mission is to empower individuals and families to learn about, engage in, create, and enjoy music, particularly involving the piano.
