I started learning the piano when I was six and ever since then I have either been learning, performing or teaching music – and for the past ten years it’s been all three!

I studied musical performance at college, then obtained a degree in ethnomusicology, all while working as a touring musician.

Using fun and creative learning techniques, you can expect to improve your technical playing ability, gain an understanding of musical theory, develop skills in musical performance and ready yourself for collaborative musicianship if that’s what you want.

I always had the most fun and engaged the most when I was learning the songs I liked at the time. I didn’t particularly like how music was taught at my school or doing grades but I would write songs on the guitar every night and teach myself my favourite songs by ear.

I really look forward to every lesson with each student and want to share everything I can so you can get the most out of music

Try a trial lesson to see if I’m the right teacher for you
