About Us
Welcome to Koalaty Music!
Hello! I'm Joanne, and Koalaty Music is a dream born from my lifelong passion for music and a deep desire to share it with the next generation. As a classically trained pianist and dedicated educator, my love for music took me on quite the adventure! I started in Hong Kong, then explored music in Germany and Australia, earning my Bachelor's in Canberra and Master's in Sydney. I believe in growing as an educator, which is why I've also studied interactive teaching methods like the Orff approach and explored the field of music therapy.
Our Mission
I firmly believe in the transformative power of music. Through over 15 years of teaching, I have witnessed the challenges of making music theory engaging and accessible for young learners. I have seen the frustration when abstract concepts didn't resonate, and the struggle parents faced in balancing the digital world with meaningful learning. I longed for an updated, engaging music theory resource that spoke to today's children – one that was educational and fun, that broke down complex ideas step by step, and that fostered critical thinking and a positive learning attitude. That's why I founded Koalaty Music in 2022.
Our Journey
It wasn't a quick endeavor to create our foundation course; it was a four-year labor of love and we poured our hearts into it, meticulously crafting everything from our lovable animal characters to recording with real students and refining lessons based on their invaluable feedback. There were trials, errors, and countless hours of dedication, but we were determined to create something truly special for teachers, students, and parents.
Why Music Theory Matters
Early music theory lays the groundwork for a lifetime of musical enjoyment and understanding. It's more than just learning notes; it's about developing critical thinking, creativity, discipline, and perseverance – skills that go beyond music lessons and benefit all areas of life. Regardless of the instrument a child plays, by making music theory fun and accessible, we empower them to build a strong foundation for their musical journey and beyond.

We are here to provide that crucial head start, empowering young learners to embrace the joy of music and build a solid foundation for their future musical adventures. Join us and discover the difference a truly engaging and effective music education can make.
