Hans Kooij 鈥 Piano Tutor
As a first class Honours graduate of the University of Tasmania, Conservatorium of Music, Hans continued as a doctoral candidate in musicology at Monash University, presenting and publishing in several academic forums. He has worked as a performing artist, accompanist, conductor and musical leader with numerous professional theatre and dance organisations, as well as orchestras and vocal ensembles.
He has taught at a tertiary level, however he finds teaching at a grassroots level much more challenging, rewarding and creative. Each child responds to, and absorbs music in their own unique way. Therefore using one single music learning system seems less effective than an individualistic approach. Hans therefore endeavours to tailor piano learning with a central focus on the child鈥檚 understanding, musical interest and needs, making lessons as much 鈥榝un鈥 as possible, as learning is best achieved when children enjoy themselves.
