Hello! I’ve been a music teacher for 5 years, and I started playing the trumpet at 7, the piano at 15 and conducting at 16. I teach piano, trumpet and music theory, and I’m just starting to teach conducting too.

I’m currently studying conducting at the Royal Academy of Music with Sian Edwards, but I studied trumpet with Dave McCallum (BBC Concert Orchestra principal) and piano with Royal Birmingham Conservatoire piano teacher Magda Nasidlak.

I really enjoy teaching, I’m open to teaching total beginners at any age and with any level of musical experience, as well as intermediate players and more advanced players, and I’m happy to teach music theory, history, and analysis at any level. I currently teach analysis and musicology at the University of Cambridge, where I studied for my undergraduate degree, so I’m also happy to give tuition in A-Level music, university-level music, and university entry exams and interview preparation.

I try to make lessons interesting and rewarding for me and my students and look for different ways to fulfil a student’s potential as a musician. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have!

I’ve been performing for 17 years now, on the piano, the trumpet, as a singer and now primarily as a conductor, and music has always been a central part of my life.

Really exciting experiences have been playing the trumpet in Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony in Poland, conducting my own completion of Mahler’s 10th Symphony, getting to study at the Royal Academy of Music and being on Spotify with the jazz band, Marie and the Boys!

All of this makes me really keen to teach people, and to make sure younger or less experienced musicians get to do things that I’ve enjoyed so much–and then much more beyond that!
