Welcome to my page!

My name is Laura, and I graduated from The University of Melbourne -- Melbourne Conservatorium of Music under Dr. Kenji Fujimura with a Bachelor of Music (Performance) and I am currently undertaking a Masters of Secondary Teaching (Music) at The University of Melbourne.

With over 8+ years of experience teaching students, I have a 100% success rate in helping students ace their AMEB piano exams. I am dedicated to helping your child reach their full potential, ensuring both improvement and joy in their piano journey, while delivering outstanding results.

My musical journey began at the age of five, and I have since dedicated myself to mastering the piano. With over 16 years of experience, I have cultivated a deep appreciation for music and began my teaching career in 2019, focusing on both AMEB exam preparation and fostering a love for music in my students.

As a passionate and patient educator, I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students can develop their skills with confidence and joy. Fluent in both Mandarin and English, I effectively communicate with students and parents to tailor lessons to individual goals and aspirations.
