FLUTE LESSONS

My teaching studio has students of every level and age group. I am able to cater to students who want to learn music for fun, for therapeutic reasons, for school band programs, for HSC and AMEB examinations, for tertiary studies or auditions, and professional performance coaching. My teaching philosophy is based on the premise that although learning the flute is a complex discipline, it also provides us with many life skills and above all should be enjoyable and enriching. Lessons may be face-to-face at my Hornsby Heights studio or online via Zoom. I hold a current Working With Children certificate and am a registered provider for Creative Kids vouchers.

 

CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY

Tell your story through song. Release stress and anxiety through music. Process difficult emotions through the creative arts. Music is a fantastic way to express feelings that cannot be said in words. As a qualified creative arts counsellor and music educator, I am able to gently guide clients through a journey of self-discovery and life balance using music as a tool to support mental health and holistic healing.

 

RUDOLF STEINER MUSIC WORKSHOPS

Having been a Rudolf Steiner music educator for over 10 years, I have run professional development workshops at numerous Steiner Schools including Aetaomah Steiner School, Glenaeon Steiner School, Cape Byron Steiner School and each year run the teacher training and professional development music courses for the Sydney Rudolf Steiner College. I continue to develop and implement the primary music program at Lorien Novalis Steiner School which includes conducting weekly lessons with every class from years 1 to 6, plus directing both a junior and senior choir. I have also recently published a book of original songs for use in the Steiner curriculum, and can provide teacher training workshops in Rudolf Steiner music education at your Steiner school.

 

SOUND BATHING

Sound bathing is an immersion of sonic vibrations utilising instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and flutes as a form of guided meditation. This tailored session will guide you into a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing. The multiple benefits of a sound bath include reduced stress, improved sleep and heightened focus and energy. Suitable for groups or individuals.

The joy she brings to teaching music has seen the children in my class embrace learning music and singing. I feel blessed to have the pleasure to work with such a talented music teacher.”
