New year new students

I moved to a new home at the end of last year. It is always exciting to move, especially when the new apartment is a few meters from the beach and it is one of the best beaches in Melbourne plus, as added benefit, there is a gorgeous beach kiosk right on the beach and the deck is facing the sea with 180 degree viewing! I am sure you guessed, it became my favourite place!
This relocation brought some big changes in my life regarding my lifestyle. Even healthier, more time on the beach in fresh air and I started to post a sea picture every single day on Facebook.
I was delighted that all my students from Brighton decided to travel and continue their music studies with me from last year. A few little flyers at the local shopping strip brought another few students. Than the local paper did a good job and the places started to fill and soon I had a very busy music teaching practice from home! The age range of my students at the moment is 4-73 years old, pretty amazing! I always loved to teach a variety of students regarding their age, skills and intentions. I find it extremely refreshing to teach kids and adults, very beginner and more advanced levels. It is wonderful.
I find equally satisfying to introduce a mature, experienced adult or to start a child and teach them the first steps in music. One of my greatest fun presently is a young man from Great Britain who has taught himself to play the piano and now he decided to make his studies official and is taking a weekly 60 min lesson. He is going famously well. He is one of my most dedicated student!
I can't tell you how I admire my adult students for making a commitment to fulfill their dreams when they have full-time jobs, families and plenty of other things in their lives but music, music is calling them!
