About	Growing up with the classical way of playing piano since I was very young, it was incredibly refreshing to change to the Simply Music Piano way of teaching piano. I had been a Primary school teacher for many years, specialising in teaching class Music to many different ages at different levels. During that time I trained in the Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy which is a fun way for students to learn and experience music. The Simply Music Piano programme fits this pedagogy perfectly. Five years ago my daughter and I opened our own Dance, Music, Drama and Art school in Hamilton, NZ. We have 7 studios, and amazingly talented tutors. We offer individual, duo and group lessons. We’d love to hear from you if you or your child are looking to receive piano tuition.
