Enjoy singing and beginner piano lessons with me, Lissy (she/her). With a background in Speech Pathology, I know that everyone learns best when they're having fun! I like my students to walk out the door smiling. I teach from my home studio in Merewether, NSW.

About me
I am a passionate singing and piano teacher, singer-songwriter and actor. With over thirteen years of combined experience working as a Speech Pathologist and as a singing/piano teacher, I love adapting lessons to suit each student's individual learning style using games, props (e.g. percussion instruments etc.), and movement activities.
My teaching philosophy
I approach lessons from a place of positive encouragement and mutual curiosity. The goal is not only to develop a student's technique and performance, but to build confidence and have fun along the way. It's about collaboration and enjoyment.My studio is a safe space for the LGBQTIA+ community, as well as for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Children - Ages 5-13
Teens/Young adults/Adults
We would be a good match if...
- You'd like a teacher with an understanding in child development, and a strong focus on ensuring lessons are age appropriate and enjoyable for children.
- You or your child would benefit from lessons from someone who has a background in allied health. For example, you or your child have a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Anxiety.
- You are an adult who is a beginner singer, or an adult who would like to work on their vocal technique e.g. singer-songwriters who would like to work on their singing voice, or beginner adults who want to sing for pleasure.
We may not be a good match if...
- You are an advanced student and your primary focus is preparing for high level grades or auditions into selective or tertiary schools.
- You are a parent and would like your child to do higher level exams (e.g. AMEB grade 4-8), including musicianship exams.

I recommend 45 minute lessons for a singing student to give us enough time to do a variety of fun vocal warm-ups/exercises as well as work on our repertoire and musicianship skills.| 45 minutes | $60 |
| 30 minutes | $42 |
