Meet the Teacher
About Patricia
With more than a decade of experience teaching music to children, Patricia has developed a deeply personal approach to instruction. Her Tengah studio is a 10-minute drive from Hillview, and several of her current students come from families in the surrounding area.
Her educational background sets her apart from most private music teachers. A Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives her a thorough understanding of how children develop — physically, cognitively, and emotionally. She applies this knowledge in every lesson, adapting her methods to suit each child rather than following a rigid formula.
Patricia teaches piano and violin and is equally comfortable guiding children who want structured ABRSM exam preparation and those who prefer to learn music in a more exploratory, pressure-free way. Her goal is always the same: to help each child build a genuine, lasting connection with music.
Why Families Trust Patricia
Why Families from Hillview Choose Patricia
Multi-Instrument Expertise
Piano and violin are both part of Patricia's teaching practice, and she weaves music theory, ear training, and rhythm exercises into every session. Children who aren't sure which instrument they prefer can explore both before making a decision, and those who want a well-rounded musical education get exactly that.
Early Childhood Training
A Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with Music Education gives Patricia a distinct advantage when working with young children. She recognises the developmental stages that affect how a child absorbs music, and she designs each lesson to meet the child where they are rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Flexible Curriculum
Patricia prepares students for ABRSM examinations in both piano and violin, but she also welcomes children who aren't interested in exams. Some students do their best work when they can explore music freely, building skills and repertoire at their own rhythm. Patricia supports both approaches and adjusts as your child's needs evolve.
Personal Studio Environment
The home studio in Tengah offers the kind of quiet focus that's difficult to find in commercial music centres. For Hillview families accustomed to the peace of their neighbourhood near the nature park, Patricia's studio feels like a natural extension of that environment — a calm, personal space where children can learn without distraction.

Lesson Structure
What Lessons Look Like
Lessons are private, one-to-one sessions running 45 to 60 minutes. Patricia adjusts the length for younger beginners who may need shorter sessions at first, gradually extending as their focus and confidence grow over the weeks.
Each session integrates instrument practice — piano or violin — with music theory, ear training, rhythm exercises, and sight-reading. Rather than treating these as separate subjects to check off, Patricia blends them organically into the flow of each lesson. A rhythm exercise might lead into a new piece; a theory point might arise naturally from something the child has just played.
For Hillview families, lessons are available at Patricia's Tengah studio or through house visits in the Hillview area. Both options deliver the same focused, individualised instruction in an environment where your child can learn comfortably.
