Anna grew up in New Zealand in a musical family, taking to the stage at the tender age of 6. She studied the piano as a child and went on to learn the viola. This took her to study a Bachelor of Music in Wellington, New Zealand. She now lives in Hornsby Heights with her husband Phil and children Sam, Mel and Lucy. She has a great passion for connecting with the people of her community. Becoming a mum sparked in her a desire to see young children grow to have a life-long love of music. "I love the opportunity to get to know each child as an individual and to help them grow and learn. I love seeing them engage with the music, and how they creatively respond in their own unique way to the sounds around them. Kids are inspiring." As well as this, Anna plays an active part in her community as a part of the Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic Orchestra, leading the music at her local church and giving instrument demonstrations at local preschools.
