La Fielding is a classical pianist, violinist, published author and composer who spent her formative years on the east coast. At eleven years old, she eagerly picked up the piano, and by eighteen she was teaching other students. La strives to foster a keen love for music in all her pupils, and develops lesson plans catered to each individual, with their particular interests and learning styles in mind. Ad-hoc lessons and short-term courses can be arranged, as well as regular lessons.

La has toured nationally as a classical pianist and violinist, playing concerts at the Victorian College of the Arts, Suite 7a and The Grace Darling. She has also been involved with numerous events with Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio, SIGNAL Arts and the Emerging Writer’s Festival, most notably producing a multi-channel public sound artwork that was exhibited along the Birrarung Marr.
