Amanda Suwondo | Director

She has been learning under Australia's well-known jazz players such as Simon Barker, Matt McMahon, Judy Bailey, Mike Nock, Kevin Hunt.

She continues her passion in learning music with some international well-known musicians, Tamir Hendelman (Los Angeles) and Christian Sands (New York). Amanda has been continuing to perform around Australia, as well as doing session pianist and recording. Beside her career as a gigging performer, Amanda loves to write music and doing arrangements. She completed a jazz composition course in 2017 from Berklee College of Music, Boston. ​

Her career as a teacher started in 2010. She is passionate about teaching music for both kids and adults. Amanda has been helping students in their exams, theory, HSC music as well as learning how to improvise, write and read music.

I love teaching music because I love kids and I want them to have a lot of fun playing music. Playing music because they WANT TO, not because they HAVE TO.
