Inspiring creativity and performance

The journey into music began early, playing in bands and being surrounded by music. I have a strong passion for the performing arts, and dedicated years to studying music; earning multiple certificates and diplomas. I have gained many skills from performing in local bands, fronting multiple groups, and learning from industry professionals. I try to bring a wealth of knowledge in music theory, performance, and the music industry to every lesson as music can be beneficial for a variety of reasons. My specialities are teaching piano, guitar, bass, vocals, ukulele, electronic music production, and music theory.

Passion-driven learning

I am a self-taught musician with a lifelong passion for music. Through pure dedication, I have learned to perform and compose music using various online and in-person resources. My unique teaching method, I believe, makes music palatable, easy to understand, and fun. My goal is to inspire people to create music for themselves and to realise that professional music education isn't the only path to finding your voice and performing. All it takes is passion. I teach guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and electronic music production.
