Teaching Experience
I have taught piano and singing lessons at music schools and privately for over 12 years all the way up to Grade 8 exams including university audition preparation for both degree and masters level entry auditions. I have taught primary and secondary level Music both in Ireland and Dubai. I have extensive experience teaching Junior Cert and Leaving Cert Music. I have directed and choreographed various musicals including Shrek, The Sound of Music, Matilda, Grease, All Shook Up and Alice in Wonderland both in Ireland and abroad. I have seen how the power of music can improve not only students' performance skills but also their well-being and confidence.
Instrumental and Theory Exams offered
If you are interested in taking exams, I teach the Royal Irish Academy curriculum as well as the ABRSM curriculum for piano, voice and music theory.
