Bio
I was trained in classical piano from a young age and from High School onwards I have focused on contemporary musical styles such as rock, pop, jazz, etc. I continued my studies in Contemporary Music at Sydney Conservatorium of Music focusing on Songwriting, Music Production, Arrangement, Keyboard, Guitar, and Vocals.
Since Uni I have worked for 7 years as a songwriter, music producer, and session musician, and am professionally engaged in live performance, songwriting & composition. I have developed considerable experience in these areas, as well as becoming skilled in Drums, Bass Guitar, and Guitar.
I have travelled to Europe, America and South East Asia to work on songwriting and music production projects, and have toured Australia with Josh Pyke and others. Since leaving Uni I have maintained a small teaching practise in Sydney with which I teach instrument or composition skills to a range of ages and abilities with the perspective of my extensive education and professional music career.
I have a deep love of music and the impact that it has had on my life, and love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with anyone wanting to learn.
Teaching Info
Given my broad base of musical experience and interest, I will tailor the content and format of lessons to the needs of the student.
I love facilitating a students engagement with music and their instrument, and coming up with individual strategies to make learning work for each student.
After initial consultation with the student, often I will introduce them to a book series suitable to their age and interest, however I will use this interspersed with my own exercises, games, and songs. I also enjoy teaching students songs that they love (and sometimes learning them myself to do so), and incorporating improvisation and play into lessons.
