Graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Many years of experience as a trumpet/brass teacher and school band director/educator.

Karen has been teaching my daughter for 2 years now and she is fabulous. Warm, supportive, encouraging while beautifully balancing the straightforward guidance for teaching the skills needed to progress. My daughter loves her lessons and looks forward to her weekly session. We highly recommend Karen for helping students with their music endeavours.

I bought a second hand trumpet and couldnt even make a sound out of it.
Karen not only taught me how to blow the trumpet properly, but also get some licks.

Karen teaches my son trombone and has been excellent. She caters the lessons to his ability and interest, is incredibly encouraging and focuses on strengths while building other skills.

Karen tutored our daughter in trumpet for about three years, and in that time she was able to help her extend her range and depth of tone beyond our expectations.
Karen also helped her to improve her performance skills and overall confidence through public performance. Her mentorship was the most outstanding quality however particularly through her HSC studies in Music 2 and Extension via correspondence, and has certainly been a strong factor in her acceptance into the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
I highly commend her to anyone looking for a tutor to aide a promising musician or anyone looking to thoroughly enjoy learning to play music.
