About the teacher: 

Hey! My name is Lilly :) 

I am a classically-trained violinist and a singer. Formerly, I was a member with the Western Australian Youth Orchestras (philharmonic).  I began singing as a child with Mícheal McCarthy at the Cottage Music Institute in Perth, have over 10+ years of education in classical music, and am experienced in both solo and group performance.   

In the last two years, I have specialised in the traditional Irish fiddle and singing styles,  a beautiful kind of music I share a special connection with through my Irish heritage. 

I enjoy performing for the community. 

I also have 3+ years of experience working with younger children as an assistant after-school visual arts teacher in Perth. 


My teaching philosophy draws predominantly from my knowledge of classical music. 

All students will be taught (in regards to violin):

All students will be taught (in regards to singing)

I love to teach, children especially, and I always try my best to create fun, playful, meaningful ways for them to learn.  Often, I use little games, social playing and performance opportunities, folk stories and my knowledge of Irish culture to achieve this.  I teach in a positive, social, non-competitive environment, and strive to encourage an attitude of music for the purpose of culture, and bringing joy and beauty to oneself, and most importantly, others. 

I also love to encourage  emotional expressiveness in student's playing and singing, and for them to  feel the  joy, light-heartedness, mysticalness and magic in every tune.  My main hope is that they take these feelings with them everwhere they go! 

Please feel free to contact me anytime about whatever enquiries you may have, I'd love to chat!  :) 

Wishing you a lovely day! 

Lilly
