Jo-Anne Marie Mileto
Templestowe,Victoria
Summary
Dynamic music educator with extensive performance experience, adept at fostering student confidence and engagement. At Our Lady of Mercy College, successfully enhanced event attendance through innovative marketing strategies and effective collaboration. As a pianist who studied at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School and Melbourne Universities, I have performed as a soloist and accompanist over the years at a variety of events. Education is now my main focus but accompaniment and performing as part of musical bands continues to be an enjoyable part of my profession. I am interested in shaping the future of Melbourne musicians and feel by being involved with AMEB in a small way may aid in my achieving this.
