My name is Ana Gloria Segura Guerra, I was born in El Salvador in Central America, and I came to Australia in 1987.

I started piano when I was 11 years old, my dad was my first piano teacher, he had a Music Studio and he was always very busy. He was also a High School teacher like my mother, so our house was full of books and interesting things.

​

Growing up was very intense for me, I always had many hobbies and interests, but music was my favourite. I studied music for many years, and I started helping my dad with his studio.  My life was tough because I was at school and at the same time studying music and acquiring many responsibilities at an early age. 

I was also very active in playing sports and other hobbies. Even with all my multiple duties and hobbies, I did enjoy that part of my life immensely.

​

During my teenage years, I participated in many Piano concerts and presentations;  I was also invited to play on TV on several occasions, I played at shopping centres, I participated in many charity presentations during Christmas time and I won a piano competition too, hosted by TV channel 2 in 1978.

My dad used to have piano recitals at the end of the year, where students used to perform, also other artists were invited to join our recitals.

​

I am a very passionate person in everything I do, especially in music. I love music so much and I always keep myself busy continuing to learn about different techniques, and ways to teach more effectively, my main goals are to ignite my students with knowledge that will help them to develop their musical skills, skills that later on they can pass to others and most of all to enjoy the musical journey.

​

I have been teaching piano for over 40 years and have experience with children, teenagers and adult students. In addition to music, I graduated in Accounting which was done overseas and here in Australia I studied for 2 years in Business and Computer management at Macarthur University, I did other courses at TAFE including computers, business, sewing courses, English courses, also Tax course with HR Block just to update my accounting skills.

Recently I've been participating in many music webinars, I did short music online courses and I completed the AMEB 8th grade Piano comprehensive and Grade 4 Music theory, and currently, I am studying at university to continue increasing my knowledge the best I can.

I am an accredited piano teacher with the Music Teachers' Association of NSW, an accreditation that I earned with all my studies and the experience I have gained over so many years of teaching. In addition to all of that, I also prepare students for AMEB exams and I have been doing it successfully for many years.

​

I like keeping myself busy and I love sharing my time with my students.
