About Anne
Anne Padget is a Theatre Performance graduate who has been playing the piano for over 40 years and who has over 30 years singing experience.
Anne delights in the storytelling involved in the making of music and it is a part of her life every day. Her approach to tuition is firstly to begin with the student. What do you want to gain from your lessons? Is this a new skill, something that is for casual enjoyment, or is there a more ambitious goal in sight?
Anne sings and conducts in a local community choir as well as her church choir and has a very eclectic taste in music. She is a qualified teacher and has taught music, humanities and social science to a wide range of students from primary school to college.
Anne's own singing journey began with opera and folk, and then developed in jazz. She has always maintained her participation in choral music. She also sings a wide range of contemporary music, from pop to easy listening and everything in between.
Anne's piano abilities are also varied. She plays classical, jazz, contemporary and church / choral. She often accompanies both group singing and individuals.
Learning must first and foremost be fun. Learning anything new requires commitment and consistency, and without the added dimension of truly enjoying it, these can be hard qualities to maintain.
Essential to Anne's teaching is an understanding of the foundations underpinning the techniques that are vital in progressing with the instrument in question. Anne works to do this by putting these essential - and often less appealing aspects of practice - within the larger context, so that the student is able to understand why skills such as scales and arpeggios are vital if the student is to command the music. Good practice is hard, but if you know why you are doing it, it becomes easier.
Another aspect of Anne's teaching is to ensure that the student is able to find their story within the music. There is always something to be told, and it is this aspect that changes what is good into what is exceptional. It is also the aspect that helps to make it fun.
