Completion – Associate Diploma of the AMEB
Andrei N
After completing grade 8 piano performance, Larisa prepared me to undergo and successfully pass my Associate in Music Australia (AMusA) exam and receive the Diploma. I never thought I would be able to get this far, but Larisa inspired confidence in myself and helped me reach my full potential.
I can’t recommend her highly enough, she is a wonderful teacher with a tremendous wealth of experience.
Patient and dedicated piano teacher
Victoria
Larissa is the most patient and dedicated piano teacher my children have had. In the 2 years that she has been teaching them she has inspired them to persist through challenges and has helped them to achieve high grades in their exams. Most of all they have gained a passion for playing their instrument and are motivated to practice and progress. Thanks Larissa.
