    Who will be teaching? 

    Johanna (she/they) is a singer songwriter who loves making music that says something to the world. She believes everyone has a song in them and that’s worth sharing!

    Johanna came to music late in life and completed a Diploma of Music and a splattering of subjects of an Advanced Diploma. She reckons it’s not necessary to study music to make good music – after all, the Beatles didn’t!
