Piano Lessons

I am a qualified piano teacher with 20 years of teaching experience.

My music journey started when I enrolled in Music School in my home country of Lithuania in 1991, where I studied Piano Performance, Sol-fa, Music Literature and Ensemble for 8 years.

I was accepted to the Conservatoire of Music in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, which I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Piano Pedagogy and Concertmaster in 2004.

After immigrating to Australia in 2004, I worked at several Music Schools in Brisbane, including IKMS – Inna Kogan’s Music School (2005-2007).

In 2007 I became a Music Teachers’ Association of QLD member and started running my own music school teaching Piano and Music Theory to this day.

Between 2007-2022 I had the honour of being trained by Zohara Rotem, a pianist, internationally acclaimed lecturer, educator and a Suzuki Teacher Trainer.

During my time with the Suzuki Music Association QLD, I had continuous training in Suzuki philosophy, methodology of teaching, Piano Repertoire, Parent Education, Piano Technique, body awareness and child development with many tertiary and international Suzuki Music mentors.
I was a member of the Suzuki Music Association QLD council in 2021 and took part in organizing and playing piano accompaniments at student concerts.

Since 2017 I had the privilege to train with Brenda Hunting, a certified Piano Instructor in the Taubman Approach, an approach to playing the piano that facilitates freedom and technical ease at the instrument.

I'm dedicated to my students to achieve the best results in their piano and music theory AMEB exams with my students averaging an A score.

My home studio in Gumdale is air-conditioned and equipped with a Yamaha G1 Grand Piano and Kawai Upright Piano.
