Grace completed her Bachelor of Music from California State University, Long Beach, in piano performance and composition in 2006. As a young child, Grace was already wanted to learn as many instruments as she could with lessons in classical and jazz piano, violin, cello and classical guitar. She grew up in Australia  performing in various youth orchestras and children’s choirs in and around the Sydney Opera House.  Her eager-to-learn nature turned to all things piano, from mastering bravura passages of Chopin, to realizing figured bass for Renaissance chamber music, to jamming old jazz standards with friends, or parodying Elton John and Billy Joel.  In addition to her years as a piano teacher, she has extensive experience as an accompanist for singers, choirs, and instrumental soloists. With membership in both MTAC and MTNA, Grace can help you prepare for piano exams and competitions, college entrance auditions, or simply learn a lifelong tool for relaxation and meditation through music.
