During these years she was awarded five prestigious scholarships for excellence: the Francis Quinn Arts Encouragement Award (2014), the DW Gardiner Fund Award (2016), Florence Menk Meyer Prize (2016), Madeleine Orr Scholarship (2017) and the Grace Funston Scholarship (2018).

Along with organizing and performing in concerts, Ann is experienced in teaching piano for various ages to suit all interests from playing for leisure to partaking AMEB exams. For Ann, teaching piano is more than just ‘tickling the keys’, it also involves exploring the meaning behind the music, providing various cognitive approaches to the learning and encouraging the student to learn to the best of their ability. Ann is also a member of the Victorian Music Teachers’ Association (VMTA).
