I began teaching in my third year of University in 1997 when I helped my student prepare for her successful audition into the Bachelor of Music course for the University of Southern Queensland. After graduating I moved to the UK and started teaching privately, as well as playing music for weddings, bands and theatre companies.
I moved back to Australia, Melbourne early 2020 and now enjoy playing with my Jazz and Folk bands and teaching students online and in person at my place in Coburg.
I am a very friendly and easy going person. My teaching philosophy is student oriented: the main purpose of the lesson is to achieve the goals of the students, whatever they may be. I have had many students successfully go through the AMEB classical system earning high marks for their exams in a way that is fun and exciting rather than stressful and difficult, as can sometimes be the case. I believe the more comfortable a student is during a lesson the better the musical results!
