Piano with Colleen

The gift of music my parents gave me, their sacrifices, encouragement and support has blessed me throughout my life.

I didn’t set out to be a piano teacher.

As a 17year old I tried teaching as I had been taught - using the written notation as the first step in learning to play. Parents expected something magical to happen when they dropped their child off to me for a weekly half hour lesson - that somehow I could give their child motivation to practice consistently, and that my carefully detailed notes could adequately summarize the practice required during the week. It was a flawed model of music education that did not result in much progress. Though I loved the piano and loved teaching, I concluded that piano teaching wasn’t for me. Fast forward - a science degree, short career as a dietitian and 4 kids later -

I discovered Simply Music Piano. My life was forever changed!

I was impacted personally by the method and knew I needed to share this with as many people as I could. I've been teaching piano since 2013 and I'm loving it.

Even if you have tried learning to play the piano before, come and discover a better way to learn!
