Meet Our World-Class Teachers

Chédene Broderick has been a singer-songwriter for over 15 years. She has performed in many different shows and productions and has been teaching vocals for 6 years. In 2010 she released her first album, 100% Me. The recording process got Chédene really passionate about being able to provide a space for everyone to learn, perfect and record their music. “Recording is the best part. I loved every minute of it and could do it everyday.” Chédene’s performance experience ranges from award ceremonies such as “The Stefan Hair awards” to arena shows such as “The Man from Snowy River”.

Chédene is very passionate about her work and takes pride in her ability to teach at a high standard. In 2015 Chédene began studying Confidence and Self Esteem coaching. “I had struggled for so many years with my confidence on stage and never really had a guide to help me through it, so I decided I would incorporate it into the way I taught. I feel it is really important that all performers are confident in what they do.” It is important to her that all her students achieve everything that they aspire to.  “Being able to watch a student smile and be excited about what they have achieved is everything to a teacher. It is so important that they are taught the correct skills so they are able to then move forward with their own goals. That is why I love to teach”.

Amelia believes that as an educator it is critical to treat all students with equality, regardless of age, gender, nationality and intellectual ability. Amelia also believes it is very important to tailor the way in which she teaches a concept, and to understand it from a student’s point of view. With patience and understanding it is possible to get to the heart of how students learn and in hand help them reach their goals.

Amelia prides herself in her ability to make her students feel important, respected, believed in, encouraged, supported and challenged so that they are able to reach their full potential. Amelia believes strongly in teaching each individual student as just that, an individual. “There are many things I get my students to do, reinforce, check and repeat but without patience, standards and individual responsibility for my student’s and myself, I believe they can’t grow.”

Amelia is a big believer in going above and beyond the scope of her teaching duties which makes her stand out above most. She is a strong believer in dedication and inspiration for not only her students but also for herself. “My goal for the future is to continually reflect on my practice as an educator with a view to improve my technique, tools, mindset and experiences.”

Wendy has been teaching for over 35 years and in that time has helped children and adults learn to play the piano.  She has found that all the enjoyment she feels has come from the joy and happiness each and every student finds while learning to play.

In that time, having students ranging from 5 through to 95 years Wendy has found that all students have enjoyed the one on one teaching that has allowed them to learn at their own speed and not be held back by other students. This aspect of teaching is very important to Wendy as she feels it is the best way to learn the basics as well as the ability to grow.

Wendy enjoys teaching all ages, from beginners to experienced adults. She has found that no matter what their experience level her students enjoy each and every lesson they have with her.  No matter what level you would like to reach, beginner through to advanced, for pleasure or exams, Wendy will be able to help you reach your goals.
