About Hornsby Piano Teacher
I employ a German snowman method to teach students to sight-read music.
The method is simple and quite fun to learn.
It enables students as young as 4 years old to quickly gain the ability to confidently read music by themselves, and increase their competence as their involvement matures.
Why I focus on developing students’ sight-reading techniques is quite simple: it is the foundation for playing any musical instrument or even singing and dancing.

I have discovered many students come to me frustrated as they have attempted to learn the piano for years and are still unable to sight-read music properly thereby losing the patience and confidence to play.
I have been very successful in introducing them to the snowman method and allowing them to regain their confidence in reading and playing music within the first few lessons.
I am a piano teacher, accompanist and performer based in Hornsby, Sydney.
I am totally passionate about sound, piano performance and music education, and I provide piano lessons for all ages in my Hornsby studio.
Having obtained a Licentiate Diploma (LMusA) from the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) in 2004, I teach all grades up to Associate Performance Diploma as well as music for leisure (jazz, pop & contemporary), and I help students prepare for Eisteddfods and competitions.
My students achieved outstanding results (Honours average) in the 2019 and 2020 AMEB exams.
