Kindergarten 2023 

Meet Catherine Lamey, our new Piano Tutor

Catherine has been teaching piano on the Central Coast and in various Sydney schools for over 20 years. She has taught students from early ages to adults and from beginners to the more advanced levels. She encourages students to play music just for fun, to simply enjoy learning an instrument or to set a goal through aiming for higher levels of proficiency through examinations up to AMusA level.

Music has always been a passion and an integral part of Catherine’s life, studying piano with renowned pianist Gerard Willems. Encouraged as a young child to learn piano, she realised the value of a musical education along with the power of music through developing her piano skills as a teacher, training in music as therapy and singing in various community choirs.  

Catherine enjoys yoga, the many beautiful bushwalks along the Central Coast and living near the water.

Private Music Tuition and Bands are now up and running for 2022.

Parent comments from the parent seminar below:

"Collett Smart’s seminar on Thursday night was a great opportunity to be reminded of the importance of resilience and overall wellbeing for our children. There were some really helpful strategies, a chance to chat about the realities and challenges of parenting in current circumstances, and reminders about how important the little things really are for our kids. As a parent of three school-aged children, I was really encouraged to ‘play the long game’ of parenting."

"I am the parent of two Primary School students. Collett provided my husband and I with many practical tools and ideas in raising them to be resilient, and giving them involvement and responsibility in our family unit. Thank you GPCC for hosting this event".
