Antje Thompson is our piano, violin and theory teacher. She started playing piano at the age of 6 and violin at the age of 12. She studied music at the National School of the Arts with piano being her first instrument and violin her second. She continued a career in music teaching piano, violin and theory and performing in a violin/guitar duo at restaurants, corporate functions and weddings. 

She heads up our music program, Upbeat, which focuses on teaching children between the ages of 4 and 6 the foundations in rhythm, note reading and so much more to prepare them for one-on-one lessons. Although she is classically trained, and believes in grading her pupils, she strongly feels that music should always be a joyous experience and not something that should be forced or become tedious for her pupils. Her goal is to always make sure that her pupils are experiencing music in a fun way that makes them want to play for their own joy.
