Teaching Info
Judy is passionate about teaching students of all levels of experience.
Judy adapts to each student’s learning style and likes to work towards goals agreed on between herself and the student. This could be preparing for AMEB or VCE examinations, University auditions, or just playing tunes that they enjoy and want to learn. Ultimately, Music should be a fun and safe space to explore creativity and learn some new skills!
Judy always tries to make the learning environment as enjoyable, and fun as possible, she will use a variety of books and techniques to keep younger children engaged in learning while still ensuring they learn musical elements such as rhythm & note recognition, sound production, posture, and sight reading.
