Bio
Education –
Noreen is pursuing her Bachelor of Music Performance for classical piano in the University of Melbourne, whilst actively participating in concert classes and masterclasses by highly renowned concert pianists, including Andrea Lam, and Prof. Glenn Riddle, a senior lecturer and Australia’s most renowned piano teacher who is also guiding Noreen through her years at the conservatorium.
Before her acceptance to the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Noreen sought instruction from Dr. Pinkcheer Tamio, Prof. Randy Ryan, and Ms. Vanessa Tunggal— graduates of West Virginia University, The Juliard School & Peabody Conservatory and the University of Melbourne respectively,—who imparted invaluable techniques and insights into piano performance.
Background & Performances –
Noreen embarked on her piano journey at an early age of 5 years old. Since then, she achieved a number of musical milestones, such as winning the International Grand Music Festival (2nd place), Trinity Youth Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition (3rd place), Prahyangan Classical Community Piano & Violin Competition (2nd place) and more, including nearly acing the ABRSM Piano Performance Exam for Grade 8, missing a perfect score by only one point.
Aside from participating in piano competitions, Noreen also performed in the JCOM Carnaval of the Animals orchestra and numerous student recitals.
Noreen has also organized and performed her first 2 hour recital “Soaring” at 17 years old, playing 9 contrasting pieces of different eras and styles, with over 70 people as her audience.
Teaching Experience –
Noreen has been teaching piano for approximately 3 years for students ages 4 and above, from complete beginners to advanced levels. She first started teaching through the pandemic, taking in a small amount of students where she conducted online lessons through Zoom.
Over the following years, Noreen taught in 2 music schools in Indonesia, 3 music schools in Melbourne and was a part of 2 music education organizations as well. Through her experiences, she obtained a minor experience in preparing students for AMEB or ABRSM examinations and general local concert and or competitions.
She is dedicated to providing high quality music lessons to serious students, making sure that each lesson is tailored to their individual needs.
Teaching Info
In each lesson, I usually include technical exercises, repertoire, and theory + history. However, I give my students freedom to what they desire to achieve in their music learning experience, thus I will alter parts of their lesson plans according to their wants and needs.
Duration of teaching for students ages:
- 5 to 8 – 30 minutes per lesson ($40)
- 9 to 12 – 45 minutes per lesson ($60)
- 13+ – 1 hour per lesson ($80)
Notes:
- For adults of any level, duration is your choice.
- I do not specialize in teaching students with special needs at the moment.
- I can only travel to students’ homes if they are 2-3km away from the CBD.
