My heart....... it can’t actually take this 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My little 8 y.o. beginner violin student at Bialik had to write something about “someone they like” for assignment and she wrote it about me, then “made it into a card” and brought to the lesson... MY HEART IS MELT 💓🥰🥺
I’m loving her endless fails at spelling my name 🤣🥰 but it’s those metaphors and observation that just blow my mind!.. 💘🥺

(Disclaimer: I’m only ever 2-3 mins late to pick her up because I have to walk from teaching an even smaller angel at at ELC, but little Gaia is SOOOO eager for violin lessons that she waits by the door and counts seconds!..)

I did some work as a handywoman 💪🔨 last week (air-tasker type of thing), building 18 bookshelves and 12 stools - and it turned out to be for my little housemate’s Kareem’s school!.. 🤯😁
Happy to report, Kareem was a great little helper!.. 🥰 👨‍🔧 🔨

Hi beautiful people, just an update!

I was truly overwhelmed by all the responses to my new business 🥰 and was quickly snapped up by various families in Torquay / Geelong for after-school violin / music lessons and special care with music therapy! 🎶💕

I am now looking primarily for work as a performer and a violin / music teacher for all ages, as well as a music entertainer / yoga instructor for the elderly.

I am extremely flexible and accomodating, so please feel free to contact me.

I’m happy to travel much further down or up, depending on the amount of hours offered and the service required ✅

I also offer musical therapy / music games for special needs children and adults & will be happy to do regular visits with my “Music and Yoga Workshops” at your kids’ schools if you put me in touch with the relevant person 🙂

And of course, as a professional violinist, I would still absolutely love to hear from any venues all around the coast, who might be interested in having me perform for them, and would be equally stoked to perform for you at your home / party - wherever you are! 🎻😁

Please also check out the mothership of this business, DunYa Centre of Creative Harmony - which is in the process of being set up and will be getting launched soon!

Thank you so much for spreading the word, lovely people!

Peace and love
