ABOUT KLARA
Klara’s musical journey began at the age of seven when she first picked up the violin. She studied up to Grade 7/8 in the Suzuki Method for Violin, with partial studies in AMEB, alongside tertiary-level music theory. Her passion for teaching emerged in 2008, marking the beginning of her career as a music educator. That same year, she joined the Wollongong Youth Orchestra, touring Perth, France, and Germany, where she performed in central Paris, The Madeleine Church, and The Lorraine Theatre in Nancy, France.
At the Wollongong Conservatorium of Music, Klara studied violin under Scott Taggart and composition, theory, and piano with John Spence. During this time, she discovered her love for songwriting and vocals, eventually moving to Melbourne in 2012 to pursue a Bachelor of Music, majoring in contemporary vocals. She has trained with esteemed vocal coaches Karen Cummings, Diana Clark, and Nilusha Dassenaike.
Deeply connected to her cultural heritage, Klara has been immersed in traditional Croatian singing and dancing since childhood. From 2007 to 2009, she directed and conducted the Croatian Youth Choir in Wollongong and has since played an integral role in Melbourne’s Croatian community, offering guidance in choral music, dance, theory, and instrumental lessons. Since 2013, she has also transcribed and arranged traditional Croatian music.
Klara’s musical explorations extend across diverse world music traditions, having participated in Balkan choir, South Indian rhythm and voice, Balinese Gamelan, TaKeTiNa rhythm, and West African Bata drumming.
Her debut album was released in November 2016, followed by an EP in December 2018. More recently, she has ventured into the world of electronic music, embracing new genres, soundscapes, and digital expressions.

Here is what Klara's students are saying about their lessons...
”Klara is a wonderful piano teacher and has been teaching both my sons Alex and Marco for the past 3 years. They have both made huge progress and developed a great rapport with Klara. She makes the lessons fun and is very patient. They look forward to it each and every week. As a parent I'm grateful that Klara has managed to engage my sons in an activity they thoroughly enjoy.”
- Stojan V. (Piano)
”Klara's classes are extremely easy to follow, and she does a wonderful job in directing me diligently during online sessions! She is very good with giving professional instruction on techniques and her notes are always useful for practicing at home. She is incredibly patient and I highly recommend her lessons to anyone who would like to start learning violin from scratch like me! Thank you so much Klara.”
- Krithika B. (Violin)
”No question Klara is a great teacher, but what really stands out to me is how supportive she is. I was very nervous about starting singing lessons at first, but I've never felt anything other than comfortable with her. I've not only become a better singer, but also a more confident one, and that's all because of how encouraging Klara is.”
- Gary D. (Vocals)
