Hello
My name is Amba, and I’m a 30-year-old wife, mother to three beautifully cheeky little ones, MBA graduate, and musician.
From a young age, my passion for performing was insatiable. When I received my very first viola, I couldn’t wait to put on a show for my family. With my eyes closed, I’d imagine myself on stage, completely lost in the music. In my mind, I was incredible—delivering the greatest lounge-room performances of classical renditions ever! My parents, however… well, they might remember them a little differently.
With the unwavering support of my family, teachers, and friends, I continued to pursue my love for string music. As luck would have it, that passion turned into a dream career. As a professional musician, I had the privilege of performing on international stages in front of incredible audiences. Some of my favorite memories include performing in Dubbo alongside Kerri-Anne Kennerley, who gave me a quick lesson on how to pose for photos; catching what I swear was a wink from Rod Stewart while on stage at Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley; and performing alongside Jessica Mauboy in Sydney.
Music has also taken me beyond Australia’s borders, allowing me to perform in Indonesia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. Closer to home, I’ve had the honor of playing at weddings—each one a unique and beautiful celebration that I will always cherish.
Throughout my performance career, I also had the joy of teaching a select number of incredible students. Little did I know, those experiences would spark a deep passion for teaching—one that continues to grow today.
Before long, it was my turn to walk down the aisle. I married my high school sweetheart against the breathtaking backdrop of a Thailand sunset. The following year, we welcomed our daughter, and not long after, her two little brothers arrived one after the other. Safe to say, my performance career took a backseat while I embraced the beautiful chaos of family life.
Today, my children are my world. They remind me daily to appreciate the simple things—the carefree life that, surely, wasn’t that long ago? (Parents, I know you get me.) The days may be long, but the weeks fly by. Watching my little ones develop their own love for animals and music takes me right back to my own humble beginnings.
Now, I want to share that same passion with others who have an insatiable desire to perform. Whether it’s you or your child, I would love to pass on my love for the violin and viola—helping you create a lifetime of musical memories. Or, at the very least, getting you ready for those unforgettable lounge-room performances that I know your friends and family are definitely excited for!
