Mikaela Banitsiotis

Originally from Melbourne, Mikaela attended the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, majoring in piano. She also received scholarships to study composition and the violin throughout her schooling.

Mikaela has performed extensively around the country, including at the Melbourne Recital Centre, and has toured regional areas of Australia. Internationally, she has performed in the US, Germany and France. Mikaela has recently graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, with a Bachelor of Music (Performance) in piano and has enjoyed teaching the instrument for over seven years. 

Mikaela’s teaching approach encourages awareness and freedom of the body and habits of movement at the instrument. She works with her students to develop a sense of self-enquiry and discovery at the piano.
