A music educator with over a decade of experience teaching piano, ukulele and vocals.
Having been raised and still residing in the Arabian Peninsula, Coral Juliana Fernandes, originally from Goa in India, has been passionate about music since a young age. Her journey began with learning the piano at the age of six, and by age twelve she began serving as a pianist at her local church; from there her talents only seemed to blossom.
By her teenage years, she was not only performing music for various school productions but composing original pieces too. This led to Coral being appointed her school’s 'Musician of the Year' and eventually to her teaching part-time at a music school. It was here that she discovered a new passion of blending creativity with music education by exploring different ways to make the learning of music more fun, engaging and accessible.
Coral went on to earn a Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Since graduating, she has taught piano, vocals, ukulele and general music in kindergartens, primary schools and music schools. Coral has even served as an Assistant professor and within that role, developed music curricula for educational institutions in India.
Combining her love of music, art and education, Coral began creating teaching resources inspired by the different needs and personalities of her students.
