Philosophy And Method
Donna aims to create fun and safe learning environment that encourages creativity in her lessons. Donna specialises in teaching her students the fundamentals of music and emphasises the importance of understanding the basic elements of music (ie. reading, music theory and aural skills).
Donna also develops practical aspects of piano playing skill and technique and emerges aural skills into the lesson so as to provide an all rounded and dynamic music session. In addition, Donna consults with each student to plan and develop individualised lessons to suit their specific needs.
Donna’s overarching philosophy stems from the belief that when students understand the basics of music theory and utilise their aural perception in both practical senses, they will have the foundations of music, be able to apply their knowledge to other contexts and/or styles of music and ultimately become self-sufficient musicians.
