Studio	At home or at other venues by arrangement
About	I have been playing the piano since I was 7 years old on my grandmother’s baby grand piano! Although classically trained and qualified with an LTCL Teachers Diploma I am excited to have recently become a licensed Simply Music Piano teacher. I am now offering private and shared piano lessons to students of all ages using Simply Music’s innovative playing based method which will have you playing a wide variety of music with both hands starting at your very first lesson! My studio is based at my home in Doctors Point, Waitati, 15 minutes north of Dunedin. I am also available to teach at other venues by arrangement. I offer a free 45 min introductory session where you can find out more about this exciting program and how it can work for you!
