About the Piano Instructor

Lydia Flowers is a Private piano instructor and musician. She has been playing the piano since she was 6 years old, was classically trained and obtained a Bachelor's Degree of Music from Victoria University. In 2019, she became a member of the Victorian Music Teacher's Association (VMTA).

She had experienced in classical piano, theory, bands/ensemble recitals, song-writing and playing-by-ear. Which means, she not only teaches classical piano but can also teach students contemporary styles depending on personal interests.

Her teaching methods are age-relevant, engaging and in a fun and supporting style. She also incorporates technology into her teaching - especially with theory, learning the notes, and aural training.

About the Studio

Where did "Mixolydian" come from?

"Mixolydian" is the name of a musical scale mode. It is the dominant scale with a flat 7th - very similar to a Major Scale. This relates to the whole- and half-step patterns starting on the root note G when playing on the white keys of the piano. This sequence when being played goes something like this:

G - A - B - C - D - E - F - G

The C Mixolydian scale relates to the F Major scale:

C - D - E - F - G - A - Bb - C
