Hello!
I have been teaching music over 30 years. During that time I have discovered that each student has their own interests and reasons for learning a musical instrument. My interest lies in supporting music learning by creating practice methods that are holistic, and appropriate for busy timetables. My aim is to support students reach their goals and attain high standards of playing.
With the advent of technology and the oncoming AI, it seems we have an even stronger reason to keep up a creative life and stay tactile. The arts, to me, involves decision making that is then expressed into the air (music), onto a canvas (painting) or paper (writing) or danced. All the better to learn music to then know how to utilise technology to a higher standard to enhance our creations. Plus, it keeps us focused without needing the internet - which is important for our mental health.
My own studies (in short) have focused on the relationship of music in film/narrative. How music composition can enhance a film/story.
I explored the model of myth and mythic structure and function when applied to media/film.
I welcome your enquiries.

I believe that private music lessons allow students to learn at their own pace, as well as provide the freedom to explore personal interests. Lessons are held in an encouraging and supportive environment with the aim of assisting students to develop their potential whilst enjoying themselves.
Previous students have gone on to university and TAFE studies, as well as performance work - often writing and producing their own CDs. Others have achieved greatness in their living rooms playing for family and friends!
