Tiana's musical journey has been a path of self-exploration and formal education. She aspires to play any song by ear and become a master of music theory. Her musical idol, Michael Jackson, has left an indelible mark on her artistic aspirations.

In addition to Jackson, Tiana draws inspiration from artists like Chester Bennington, Lil Peep, and Amy Lee. Her eclectic taste in music is reflected in her favourite albums, including "Blonde" by Frank Ocean, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, and "good kid, m.A.A.d city" by Kendrick Lamar. One song that never fails to move her is "Moonlight" by Chase Atlantic.

Beyond her musical pursuits, Tiana enjoys reading and hitting the gym. Her ideal meal is homemade chicken schnitzel with her dad's famous homemade chips. Tiana's connection to Greece, her homeland, is strong, as it's a place where her family resides and where everything stays open late, perfectly aligning with her love for nighttime adventures.

Reviews

The Staff are Amazing.

They are motivated to share their knowledge and inspire kids to learn. Love the one-on-one lessons and then the opportunity to join another group and prepare for live shows. What better way to learn and use new skills?

I love School of Rock already!

The staff helped me fit in when I was new and feeling a little shy or nervous. Teachers really want the best for you and therefore give you honest tips on improvement. Overall I’ve only been here for three weeks and I already love it!

Very Helpful!

The staff took the time to let me tour the facilities during one visit and then my husband on a second visit. My daughter is quite shy and they made her feel relaxed during the lesson. She is excited every week to attend and practice.

Lessons are tailored for each child.

Every child is made to feel welcome and special. Kids are working towards something, the shows, rather than just learning an instrument for no purpose. I would definitely recommend School of Rock, and I have done on many occasions!
