I've been taking lessons with Erica now for just over a year and have since seen immense improvements in my voice and general performance capabilities. With her experience she was swiftly able to identify some of the weaker aspects of my vocal technique and alter them through carefully prescribed vocal exercises. I have since noticed outstanding improvements in both breath and pitch control and have gained almost an entire octave of range.
As a teacher I find her generally warm and encouraging and her breadth of knowledge has helped me to work towards any goal I've bought to her, whether it relates to technique, music theory or performance. I think every singer would have something to gain from lessons with Erica and would highly recommend her!

After wanting to learn guitar most of my life I finally plucked up the courage and booked in with Erica who was recommended to me by a musically trained friend. I have been learning guitar for just 6 months and it is amazing how much I have learned. I started with very limited music training (from childhood) and not knowing a single chord. I know several different songs now but more importantly I have learnt how to teach myself new songs.
Erica cleverly challenges me with new styles and techniques and the more I learn the more excited I am about what else there is to learn. While I consider myself fortunate that the first few lessons were out of lockdown and face to face, Erica is skilled at delivering a lesson in both formats. I am hooked on guitar and so grateful to have a wonderfully talented teacher.

Erica has been teaching my daughter singing and guitar for several years. My daughter has developed so much musically under Erica's guidance, it's lovely to see. Lessons with Erica are one activity my daughter is always keen to do, even though she's now an unpredictable teenager!

Erica is a warm, engaging and dedicated teacher. Her diverse musical talents enable her to teach piano, guitar and voice. The variety and flexibility of instruments, mixed with her warm teaching style ensured that my son continued to study music through the difficult early teen stage. Thank you Erica!

Erica is an amazing teacher and taught my 8 year old for 3 years. Erica can simplify any song my child requested to learn into a simplified version and I enjoyed every minute of being in Erica’s calm and relaxed home. I miss Erica in our lives after her move overseas!

I ALWAYS love my weekly lessons with Erica. Every lesson she peels back new layers of learning and ah-ha moments for my growth in learning the ukulele and singing. I immediately connected with Erica, having found her via her website and love the conversations we have. My first lesson was more than a year ago - yet feels like I have been enjoying it for years!
Being a stay at home mum, these weekly catch ups are my happy space and adult time - and they could not be any better. I am always greeted with a smiling face and cheery disposition. She makes learning fun and easy, and always has the time to say g’day to my children that sometimes join the video call un-announced.
Her ideas for song choices and desire to challenge me to increase my skill, is wonderful. She also welcomes my crazy song ideas and sometimes unconventional times of the days to re-schedule my lessons to.
I cannot recommend Erica enough - for a child or adult. I look forward to the day I can visit Erica in Victoria, and listen to her live in concert. That would be a treat!

Erica is a really patient and kind teacher. She keeps positively working with mature students like me who have never picked up a string instrument in their life! I would really recommend her.

Erica is highly professional and exceptionally capable. She is meticulous in supporting student learning. Erica delivers this with humour and fun and she values ongoing student progress. Additionally Erica tailors and adjusts every lesson to support best learning and outcomes. During lockdown Erica has taught online and has still persevered to deliver amazing lessons. Highly value my lessons with Erica and would recommend her to any student.

Erica is a friendly and patient teacher who makes my 10 year old daughter feel comfortable and brings out her confidence. Erica's skill as a gifted musician and singer along with her passion for music show each lesson. We are lucky to have found her.
