Your piano teacher

About me:
I grew up in a very musical and talented family in Seaforth, NSW, where my siblings and I were taught piano, violin, guitar, flute and recorder.  I have always had a great passion for music, in particular piano, and started lessons at age 7.  I was taught by the highly accomplished concert pianist and teacher, Leila Chalmers, at the Chalmers, Langley and Bynon Music Studio in Darley Rd, Manly.  From an early age I was involved in concerts and eisteddfods, and gained high achievements in AMEB piano and theory exams.  I commenced teaching piano to younger children as a high school student, and later went on to gain my Bachelor of Education (Primary).  I have over 30 years of successful teaching experience, both in schools and in private tuition. 

My interests and hobbies:
I came to live on the Central Coast for my family, for the beaches, the lifestyle and the beautiful scenery. I am passionate about keeping fit and healthy, in body, mind and soul, and attend Pilates classes regularly at the local surf club where I can also enjoy the amazing vista whilst exercising! You may see me walking my little dog at the beach sometimes too. For relaxation I enjoy playing and listening to music, reading an engaging book or immersing myself in a good movie- I love our iconic theatre at Avoca, and the Cinema Paradiso at Ettalong!
