I’m Wellington based bassist since 2005. I’m enjoying my busy life with the NZSO as well as solo recitals and teaching. I mainly play Classical but love to explore different styles so I’ve played in Jazz, Rock, Folk & Tango bands over the years. As a teacher I try to find a balance between learning, commitment and fun!
