She has been doing classical ballet and drama classes since she was just 5 years old, played the recorder from age 6 to 9, the first clarinet for 3 years and then the alto clarinet for 2. As a teenager she took more of an interest in acoustic guitar and later electric guitar playing in a few social groups. For the past 2 years she has been playing the piano on and off and is keen to continue her learning with this instrument.

 

She is a graduate of the Margaret Kennedy's School of Drama having completed 4 years of classes and completed up to grade 7 in classical ballet through the RAD system.

She has also been involved in the Queensland Children's Choir and competed in many eisteddfods and competitions with both her dancing and music. She played the drums in the ‘School Anthem' band.

 

"I really feel that I am in the right industry as my passion is music and movement. I enjoy live music, going to the beach, bike riding and socializing with friends."

    Tiah Jefferies - Administration Assistant


    Thanks for calling Kindermusik this is TiahTiah Jeffries is the latest edition to the Kindermusik team at the Kunda Park office on the lovely Sunshine Coast. Tiah joins the team to look after ordering, licensing and will communicate directly with all the Educators.

     

    “I'm really lucky,” says Tiah. “This is my first job and it's great to start off in an upbeat and friendly environment.”

     

    Tiah, who completed her Year 12 Certificate in 2006, opted to enter the workforce straight away before undertaking any further study.

     

    “I really want to further my skills in the work force and gain some life skills that uni wouldn't be able to give me. Kindermusik gives me such a great opportunity to do this, in such a supportive and caring way. I can see why lots of parents love Kindermusik for their children, they really do care about people and their growth. It's a great place to work!” she said.

     

    Tiah has grown up on the Sunshine Coast and is fortunate to have so many of her friends and family living close by. Tiah loves to spend time with her friends and family, “they're really supportive of me. They were ecstatic when I started with Kindermusik, knowing I would be working for such a great company,” she said.
