By KYLIE WILSON RAISED in the midst of a musical family, there was never any doubt that Andrea Wearne would live a life shaped by the magic of melody. Piano melodies of all kinds regularly flow from the tranquil music room at the front of her Wangaratta home, where she often gives lessons. She recalls that most of her siblings could sing and play an instrument, and for those in her family, music “was as natural as playing hopscotch” and a way to amuse themselves. “There was a fairly strong culture of music in our house,” Andrea said. Her childhood love of music, and piano in particular, quickly grew into something she wanted to pass on and teach to others. She is a familiar face to local music lovers, having spent almost three decades teaching piano in the Wangaratta and King Valley area, predominantly with children but also with teenagers and adults. This has included teaching students at several schools in the area, and Andrea said she has felt privileged to be able to help shape many young minds over the years.
