Lavinia Lee

BMus (studying)

I’ve been teaching for 5 years and currently studying at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, majoring in Classical Piano Performance.

Born in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, I started my first piano lesson at 4 at Era Musika, Yamaha Musik Indonesia. This early exposure to music has led me to discover my true passion in music, where I first learned how to express myself through my creativity, improvisation and composition skills. During my time there, I managed to pass the selection criteria to earn a place in the accelerated curriculum stream despite of my young age and was selected to perform my own compositions at the prestigious Yamaha – Junior Original Concert (JOC) in Jakarta for six consecutive years. I obtained my Grade 5/Teacher’s Grade Certificate from Yamaha Music when I was 13 years old.

At the age of 10, I chose to focus on classical music and was previously under the tutelage of Miss Jenni Halim.
