My experience spans 30 years, beginning with my university studies. For the past five years, Ive taught students of all ages, always focusing on helping them feel the music from within and connect with the songs and styles they genuinely want to learn.

I began teaching five years ago with a diverse studio that covered everything from musical theatre to hip hop.
