Teaching Info
I have been teaching piano, guitar and drums for the past nine years, and this has provided me with the skill set to teach and develop students their music abilities both in practical and theory. Having such a great passion for composing and performing music will not only be rewarding to mentor students, but also pass down my musical knowledge and experience to future musicians and composers. The lessons are adapted and tailored to each student. If it’s learning how to play your favourite pop songs, classical pieces or just interested in learning an instrument for the first time. I can teach both ABRSM and Trinity for drums and piano, where some of my students have passed with distinction. I have taught at Sherwood Primary School, Northcross Intermediate and Cornwall Park District School.
