I'm a pianist, composer and educator with over 15 years experience teaching piano, composition and ear training. I have worked with students of all ages, from complete beginner to conservatory level and professional artists.
My pedagogy is based on the premise that music is a language. As such, my teaching focuses on
(1) helping students to hear, identify and understand musical elements in real time (from individual notes, to harmony and chord progressions, ear training and sight reading); and
(2) connect this understanding to becoming a proficient pianist, sight reader and improviser.
I cater lessons to the goals of the individual, curating a step by step process aimed at achieving their objectives. My principles are universally applicable across all styles, including Jazz, Classical, Pop, Funk, Blues and more, whether improvising or performing.
I graduated from the Jazz and Improvisation program at Monash University (Melbourne) as well as attended Jazz Programs at NYU and in Italy. I studied classical repertoire with acclaimed pianist Dr Donna Coleman. I've been a professional performing artist and composer, playing everywhere from small clubs to concert halls for the past 15 years as well as scoring for films.
I work both in person and remotely, offering a free introductory lesson. Less price includes all materials, lesson summaries and musical analysis.See more
