The power of belonging, especially for young families, is a cornerstone of the Fiddlesticks philosophy. Not just for the Children, but for us Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. It’s not easy raising little ones whilst navigating the many challenges life brings, and I don’t want anyone to feel they’re doing it alone. Fiddlesticks is my way of supporting parents using music education.

I grew up playing Violin (and have taught it for 25 years now! Yikes!) and attended the Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne.

As well as running Fiddlesticks, I’m also Concert Master of the Gippsland Symphony Orchestra.

Teaching music is my jam. But community is the beat that makes it all make sense. I have a passion for growing the creative arts in our corner of the world. I’ve seen the way they transform and enhance lives, and I’m harnessing that magic in our little studio in the streets of Warragul.

I bring my inner child to every Fiddlesticks class, and I hope to meet yours too!
