A Dream and Gift for Life
Learning to play a musical instrument is very rewarding and fulfilling, and we pride ourselves in making this opportunity available for students wishing to learn.
A lifetime of musical opportunity and talent could be discovered if given the chance. The satisfaction of sharing this gift with family and friends is also very exciting.
To play a musical instrument is a dream that many people have had throughout their life.
Recognised as one of the most popular instruments, the piano has been the chosen instrument of outstanding musicians, composers and music educators for generations, providing all the fundamental requirements for further music education.

Kylie Hall has had extensive experience in music teaching (over 20 years), plus local, interstate and overseas performances opportunities. As an active member of the Theatre Organ Society of Australia, Kylie has been the recipient of the prestigious American Theatre Organ Society's "Young Organist of the Year" competition, winning the Senior Division in 1995, plus the ROTOSA Competition in 1993. With many other performances, fundraising and a recording "Debut" - released in 1993, Kylie brings opportunities of performance for her students. She was also awarded outstanding achievement certificates for Practical Grade 4, 5 and 7 on Electronic Organ by the Australian Guild of Music and Speech. One of these awards was for the highest marks in both Australia and New Zealand in the two series of practical examinations held during 1988. She obtained her Associate Diploma on Theatre Pipe Organ (the first to do so in Australia) and Grade 7 theory in 1996.
Kylie's focus for her successful teaching of her students, is to have fun whilst learning as she believes that the most successful students are those who enjoy their music. Goal setting and learning the style of music that the student enjoys is encouraged as early as possible and contributes to the very high standard and student retention rate that she has. All teaching is conducted through individual tuition and adapted for the individual students needs. Musical instruments and styles offered are modern and classical piano and electronic keyboard. Kylie is also able to teach the Electronic Organ, however as this is an infrequent request at this stage, her focus is on piano students.
Music school functions are arranged throughout the year which include student concerts, workshops and student exam performance practices. Opportunities for exams through the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB), are available, or students can just play for fun and pleasure.
Kylie holds a valid Police Check, Working with Children's Check, Catholic Education Police Check, and Music Teacher Public Liability Insurance.
Kylie manages to run her own business, teaching many varied level students each week and spending family time with her very supportive husband and 2 young sons. In her few spare moments she enjoys spending time with the family dog 'Presto' who loves to run fast and enjoys the dog sport, Flyball.
Kylie looks forward to discussing your musical dreams and providing you with a fun and friendly learning environment.

Consultant - Piano and Theory
I studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany and in 2003, I completed my Magister Artium degree (equivalent to a Master’s Degree under the Bologna Process in Europe) in Music Pedagogics (including intensive studies in piano, theory, vocals and conducting), Musicology and Psychology.
Between 2004 and 2012 I was working at 3klang, a music school in Freising, Germany where I was teaching piano, children’s choir and musical early education.
I particularly enjoyed and valued the development, rehearsal and presentation of regular interactive family concerts, performed by me and my colleagues for the younger age groups.
In my free time I had great fun entertaining as a dedicated singer in 2 bands - as background vocals in an Elvis Show Band with other members of the 3klang music school family and as lead singer in the party cover rock band Clondyke.
In 2012 I moved from Germany to Adelaide to get married to my partner. Together we’ve been raising our 3 young children ever since and I’ve been enjoying teaching piano to family and friends.

Consultant - Piano and Theory
I love performing and in recent years I had the opportunity to perform often as a member of different ensembles, such as symphony orchestras, woodwind orchestras, choirs, as well as salsa and jazz bands. Additionally, I enjoyed being a member of several musical theatre ensembles and performances in different musical productions, including HMS Pinafore, Beauty and the Beast, Les Misérables, and most recently The Producers.
My love of music also stretches to composition, ranging from neoclassical, jazz, film music, pop and R&B.
If I have any free time, when not doing music, I love reading, spending time on the beach, or playing soccer.
