I am an accomplished musician with a vast set list and can play three hours of entertaining material without music. I actively encourage the children I teach to build their own repertoires from memory, with a 100% pass rate for their music grades. I am an extremely enthusiastic teacher motivated by my wealth of musical experiences and enjoy organizing shows and concerts as part of my teaching roles. Beyond teaching, I am experienced with music production technology using Cubase and Ableton Live. I own Yamaha and Korg keyboards for composing and performing, as well as electronic and acoustic drum kits. I regularly record using my own mixing desk and workstation and have produced 17 albums ranging from Classical to Prog Rock, showcasing my skills as composer, arranger, and performer.
