(01) Portrait

Nadine Saad is an Australian freelance musician based in Sydney — a graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music who has built a career as a pianist, teacher, composer and arranger.

She began formal musical training at the age of seven, played in various ensembles throughout her school years and was part of the junior program at the Conservatorium's Open Academy. She received her AMusA diploma before moving on to tertiary studies, and successfully completed her Bachelor of Music Studies (Piano) in 2012. Nadine went on to receive her LMusA diploma the following year.

She is an in-demand accompanist working with instrumentalists and choirs all year round for a variety of events, exams and auditions. Nadine works as a composer too — with some of her ensemble works premiered in Sydney by fellow Conservatorium graduates — and she frequently arranges contemporary and film music for her students to suit their abilities.

Music, for Nadine, extends far beyond a career — it is a prominent part of herself, shaping her everyday life and enriching her sense of existence.

Nadine is accredited by the Music Teachers Association of NSW and has been teaching piano to students of all ages and abilities since finishing her studies. She works both as a school piano tutor and tutors privately from her home studio. She is very familiar with the AMEB syllabus, as a number of her students enjoy enrolling for exams each year.

Her love of piano — and of music in general — is woven into the fabric of her days. She strongly believes that music enriches one's existence, and brings that conviction to every lesson, rehearsal and stage she steps onto.
