Charlotte Leamon- Available Thursday

Brief History -

Hi, I’m Charlotte and i've been teaching piano for quite a while now to students off all ages and expertise and I have just completed my Bachelor of Music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Composition where I write contemporary classical music. Playing piano for most of my life has allowed me to travel both nationally and internationally to locations like Alaska and Bangkok to name a few for a one-woman show and to perfom my compositional works. I also sing which has lead me to be the Musical Director and Conductor of Sing Australia Gordon and Adult Glee Club.


Teaching Philosophy -

If I put it simply, my teaching approach is always about the student. As they begin to learn the basics and advance I encourage and support the students interests, even if this does not go down the traditional route. I’m happy to teach pop, classical, jazz-classical and more and in all my lessons I teach theory and technique to advance the students understanding of music and how to play healthily. I always make sure to check with my students to see if they are enjoying their pieces and progress, resulting in minimum time my students spend with me being three years!

Musical interests-
I love any, and all types of music! I have recently enjoyed playing tango, particularly by Piazzolla. As a classical pianist I love romantic music such as Chopin and Debussy, but I equally enjoy any and all classical music from Bach to modern classical such as Ludovico Einaudi. As a modern Australian composer, I love new works particularly by the composer Elena Kats-Chernin who writes beautiful piano music. Working with the choirs that I do, I conduct and play many rock/pop songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and in Adult Glee Club I play and conduct more modern pop songs from the 2000s and of today.

Style of music taught-
As long as there is sheet music for it, I don’t mind!
