Bio
Elly Rydge has been performing in New Zealand for the past 14 years. She plays regularly in her band Black & Gold and has performed in stadiums, shows, weddings and corporate functions.
Elly loves seeing people grow in their understanding of music. She also loves to create performance opportunities where they can share their music with others.
Each term Elly sets goals with her students. Whether it’s to complete the final pages of their first piano book, complete a song they’re writing, perform at a concert; or to strive for excellence on their NCEA exam; this helps students keep track of their progress.
Elly studied at Ara in 2012 and holds a Bachelor of Music Arts. Elly has worked in schools assisting both primary and secondary students with piano, singing and choir work.
Whether you are 3 or 73 Elly doesn’t put an age limit on music. Come for a trial lesson and we can figure out what is going to work best for your learning style. It’s never too late or early to start an instrument if that passion is present!
