About
I love what I do, and it makes me so happy to be able to share my passion with others! Since starting as a professional Music Teacher in 2000, I’ve been privileged to see so many students discover their natural skills and abilities and reach results they never dreamed were possible!

A little intro about myself:
I completed the degree B.Mus (Musicology) in 1990 with major subjects Piano and Voice. During my studies I started teaching individual piano lessons. I had the opportunity to sing in the Opera Chorus at the StateTheatre. Opera's that I sang in was D'elisir da more, Carmen, Tosca, and Otello. I won the opera bursary at the Pretoria Eisteddfod judged by Mimi Coertze.
In 1993 I completed the degree B. (Hons) (Music education) at UP. I taught a very succesful preschool music program at various preschools and play groups. The present studio was opened in 2008 and I have decided to concentrate on Piano, Recorder, Keyboard and Theory of Music lessons. At the moment I have 32 years plus experience in teaching individual lessons.
Music Courses
My teaching style focuses on skills training, but also emphasizes self-exploration and discovering a passion for something new. Take a look at the selection of lessons and courses I provide and choose the right one for you.
Lessons are offered to children from Gr R through primary school, teens and adults. Every learner is assessed individually with regard to age, skills and previous music experience.
A specific tutor programme is then assigned to ensure maximum progress.
The studio expects that the teacher, the learner and the parent works in unison to ensure progress.
For interested pupils the possibility of music exams from Unisa and Trinity College of London are offered. The students participate in yearly Eisteddfods and 2 yearly concerts are held. They are joyous occasions where pupils get to share their progress with their parents, family and friends.
Piano Lessons for the young Beginner
Music for Little Mozart's
I design each lesson I offer according to my students’ abilities, and make the necessary changes once I become more familiar with their needs. The Music for Little Mozart's series has been designed for the young beginner from Grade R to Grade 3. It teaches them systematically the basic note reading skills in a fun and child-appropriate way, while developing their aural abilities.

Piano lessons for children from 8 years in age
Alfred Basic Piano Series
Children are assessed on their individual developmental levels and previous music tuition experience. Specific tutor programmes, mostly from the basic Alfred Piano Series, are then recommended furthering their musical skills, learning and enjoyment. The series cater for the junior primary, intermediate primary and later beginner
Piano programmes for teens and adults
Adult All-In-One Course
A special tutor range caters for the beginner as well as the more advanced older student. It is an accelerated learning course. In just a few lessons, students are able to play pieces with both hands. It is never too late to learn to play a musical instrument!
Keyboard lessons
Keyboard players usually have a delightful experience! They have a whole orchestra at their fingertips. We learn contemporary as well as classical music arranged for keyboard. The learner is trained to play on his/her keyboard for maximum satisfaction when practicing at home and performing for an audience
Theory of Music
Part of each lesson!
I believe in the thorough understanding of the fundamentals of music; always integrating written music with practical work. Theory books are available for young beginner levels up to more advanced. The theory books are attractive and comes with a page of fun stickers to entice the little ones. The books are following the curriculum of the Trinity College of London and Unisa theory exams. After completing the basic series, pupils start with preparation for pregrade 1.
