Available to hire
I’m Henry Tochukwu Nnakife, a dedicated music educator and saxophonist based in Lagos, Nigeria. I bring a strong mix of performance and teaching experience—sharing my knowledge through private music tuition as well as school-based music instruction.
Alongside teaching, I provide musical direction for rehearsals and studio projects, collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists, and support artists in building confidence and technique. I also write original songs for film and television productions, combining creativity with solid music theory training including MUSON qualifications and ABRSM Grade 7 Music Theory.
