I studied Music Education at the Sydney Conservatorium, Australia, and have 20 years music teaching experience internationally, in Australia, Japan and the UK. Orff Schulwerk has been a part of my teaching practice for almost as long. I have attended workshops and summer schools in Sydney, Beijing, London, Salzburg and San Francisco. I also have Orff Level Three certification (2009). I am drawn to the Orff process through the emphasis on active participation, the focus on combining music, dance, movement, drama, speech, and the opportunities to release the creativity of individual learners. I currently teach music at Southbank International School, London.
