Summary/Overview

I am a qualified and professional music teacher with a high level of experience and a zest for sharing my passion for all things musical. Well acquainted with the NSW syllabus, I hold a strong belief that music can change lives for the better. I seek to equip students with the performance, composition and theoretical skills that will see them excel no matter which path they take in music. An engaged and determined teacher, I thrive teaching both one-on-one and in group scenarios.
