--- Music ---
Realising a passion for music at a young age, Simon has strived to learn the intricacies of both Classical Piano and Contemporary Vocals to an extremely detailed extent, always looking to improve technically, physically and emotionally.

For Piano, Simon specialises in strengthening technique and aural components, and is confident in teaching at the HSC level and students preparing for their AMEB examinations. During lessons, Simon will be drilling in the foundations of technique until it becomes second nature, while also balancing the emotional and 'feel' based aspects of the instrument.

For Vocals, Simon specialises in a contemporary style, but also draws from technical aspects of musical theatre to create a healthy and strong, yet modern tone. Simon provides strong technical guidance and will choose a handful of songs for students to practice specific techniques outside of lessons along with vocal exercises. Simon also lets students choose a selection of songs they want to practice.

For HSC Music, Simon provides theoretical and aural guidance, extensive feedback and mentorship for any instrument at any level to ensure that his students are playing to the guidelines established by NESA and at a level which separates them from the rest of the cohort.

Simon tutors any age, but must see dedication, motivation and effort from students.
