Teaching

I am a teacher who helps people develop a closer understanding of how music, their instrument, and their interests grow together.

I specialise in jazz and contemporary guitar, with a focus on aural skills, reading, and improvisation. Using these building blocks, I help students develop the necessary skills to teach themselves. I work directly with my students to develop goals and practice routines that will allow them to achieve their own musical aspirations. I also encourage students to explore a broad range of musical styles and techniques, and to continually dive into new deep-ends. I am also available to teach electric bass and drum kit.

Over the past 10 years, I have taught across Sydney, and across all age groups. Currently, I teach a number students and ensembles both through schools and privately. As a qualified secondary music teacher, I draw upon a wide range of musical experiences to help students develop their musicality beyond instrumental ability alone. This is particularly important for me working as a coach & accompanist in both secondary and tertiary examinations.

Some core areas where I aim to help students develop are:

• Aural awareness

• Practical reading skills

• Improvisation

• Progressive approaches to practice

• Composition & arranging

I am available for private lessons via Zoom, or from my studio based in Stanmore (a short walk from Stanmore station). Lessons through schools are at the rate set by each school.
