About Samantha
I grew up in a family influenced by music. From the age of 12 I began piano lessons in the Northern Suburbs – going on to complete my grade 7 piano exam, joining school bands and studying music and business at TAFE and university. I began teaching piano in 1995 in various schools in the Northern and Eastern suburbs, as well as playing in local bands, church bands and solo performances. I currently teach from my Mawson Lakes home.
