Teaching Info
My teaching approach is tailor-made and student-focused, ensuring every learner progresses smoothly while building a strong foundation of music knowledge.
I place a key focus on aural training and theory understanding, helping students develop musical fluency and confidence—whether for exams or personal enrichment.
Lessons are warm, structured and encouraging, with a balance of discipline and creative expression. I aim to nurture musical independence and joy in every student.
