ABOUT US
Founded in 2019, the Randwick Music School stands as a testament to a lifetime devoted to the art of music. Rooted in over three decades of experience as a solo pianist, this institution is the culmination of my unwavering passion for both performance and pedagogy. For the past four years, I have had the privilege of guiding students through advanced musical programs, and it is with great joy that I extend this dedication through the school, fostering the next generation of musicians.
Teaching is more than the transmission of knowledge—it is the passing of passion, discipline, and inspiration. I find profound fulfilment in witnessing my students grow, discovering within themselves a deep connection to music. Music, I believe, is not merely an art form but an extension of one's very being—a discipline that shapes character and prepares individuals for challenges beyond the realm of melody and harmony. It is upon these principles that the Randwick Music School is founded. As educators, we take great pride in illuminating the path for our students, encouraging their excellence not only in examinations but also in their confidence as independent musicians. Our mission is to nurture their artistic development
and in still within them a lifelong love for music.
The Randwick Music School is a sanctuary of learning—one that is built upon warmth, encouragement, and joy. My dedicated team and I cherish the vibrant community we have cultivated, where students of all ages and skill levels are welcomed into an ever-evolving journey of musical discovery. We hold steadfast in our belief that learning is a lifelong endeavour, and it is our honour to accompany each student on this path.
