ABOUT
Catherine Hope
Bachelor of Music Education (Conservatorium of Music, Sydney), Licensed Kindermusik Educator
I have been teaching music in Sydney since 2007 and moved to Mudgee in 2021. I absolutely love making music and sharing it with others. My teaching style aims to cultivate a love for music in all students through a patient, practical and hands on approach to learning. Music is fun and rewarding, and lessons should be too, so I incorporate theory through game-based learning and guide students towards being self-motivated and enthusiastic musicians.
I began my musical journey at a young age; born into a musical family I was constantly surrounded by music. At the age of six I began learning violin with the Suzuki method, then also took up piano which became my main instrument in my teenage years. After some very musical high school years I further pursued my interests through a Bachelor degree in Music Education at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and turned my attention to pedagogical studies and began teaching both private piano students and group classes in schools.
My firm belief that every child should have the opportunity to learn and create music led to me working as an early childhood educator by completing my Kindermusik training in 2018. I have a passion for early childhood music education and adore seeing children grow through music!
