Currently taking students
One-to-one piano lessons for all ages and levels — from first notes to diploma, in Sydney's Inner West.
Nadine is accredited by the Music Teachers Association of NSW and has been teaching piano to students of all ages and abilities since completing her studies. She works as a peripatetic school piano tutor and also tutors privately from her home in Sydney's Inner West. Her lessons are conducted one-to-one and she gladly takes students of any age or ability. Lessons for beginners start at 30 minutes and get progressively longer as they move through to more advanced music.
She is very familiar with both the AMEB practical and theory syllabi, and a number of her students enjoy enrolling for exams each year. She is highly experienced in teaching a wide variety of styles — from classical to jazz to musical theatre — and loves to encourage her students to share their musical tastes in lessons. She also creates worksheets and regularly arranges film music and pop charts for her students, keeping them engaged in the music they learn.
Solo pianist, ensemble musician and accompanist — available for events across Sydney.
Nadine has worked as a performer in a wide variety of settings for over a decade. She has performed as a solo pianist in hotels, nursing homes, shopping centres and at birthday functions. Her repertoire includes classical piano, musical theatre, jazz, contemporary and traditional music, all catered to suit the needs of the client.
As an ensemble member she has been the pianist for musicals in both smaller and larger venues across Sydney — productions such as Sweeney Todd, Seussical and The Little Mermaid. Since 2018 she has held the role of pianist and Musical Director for the Pathfinder's Revue, an annual musical funded by Qantas.
She works all year round as an accompanist for both choirs and instrumentalists, is resident accompanist at two Sydney schools, and collaborates with instrumentalists for exams ranging from preliminary to diploma, as well as university and high school entrance auditions.

Commissions open
Original works and bespoke arrangements — from student pieces to large ensembles and full show bands.
Nadine begins almost all of her compositions at the piano and has a collection of solo works she has written over the years. She finds inspiration in the works of Liszt and Debussy, but also more contemporary voices such as Yann Tiersen. Her solo piano compositions vary in both style and difficulty; she is currently working on a collection of preludes.
For several consecutive years, Nadine has composed for a performance series with fellow Conservatorium graduates, writing for quartets, wind quintets and trios — with pieces premiered live in recitals. A number of her ensemble works can be found in the UCLA online library.
As an in-demand arranger, she adapts popular and film music to fit the client — every arrangement delivered with the same professionalism, originality and creativity. A selection of her arrangements is available on ArrangeMe as well as directly on this site.
