Learn Piano with Marita and Lindsay

Marita

I strive to inspire my students to form a deep connection with music so that they'll want to keep playing piano for life. I endeavour to give my students a positive experience around piano lessons and provide them with an engaging, collaborative way of learning and a true understanding of music. 


I believe everyone learns best when they have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and can work towards this in a supportive, relaxed environment. As a piano teacher, I set out to help each of my students create their own goals and provide them with guidance to reach their full potential as they learn piano.  A successful outcome for me would be to see my students leave each of their lessons feeling inspired, empowered and confident as a musician.


I offer students the opportunity to do practical and theory examinations through AMEB. Exams can be a great tool for progress as they outline specific criteria a clear timeframe to meet goals as well as a great achievement to show for your progress and hard work.


My teaching philosophy

Inspiring joy and creativity at the piano to create avid pianists for life!


Favourite Composers for the Piano

I lean towards composers from the Romatic Era like Chopin, Brahms and Schubert and I'm also fond of modern 'minimalist' composers including Ludovico Einaudi and Max Richter.
