James Dekleva's Profile

Background:

I am a graduate from the University of Western Australia where I undertook specialist music studies in piano performance under Jana Kovar. I am also a professional concert pianist, and a recent qualifier in the 16th International Beethoven Piano Competition 2021. I have been teaching piano since 2014, and have experience in teaching and mentoring from beginners through to tertiary level students. I have extensive experience in piano performance having started in my early childhood, and have developed a reputation in the music industry through the years. My involvement in the industry has seen me working alongside operatic productions in Australia and overseas, working with ensembles and instrumentalists, and performing at various events such as the Mercedes Benz GLE Launch, ‘Enduring Friendship’ between WA and Germany 2019, and several charities. With the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years, I am able to pass them on to my students and guide them in their musical path and career.
