About

About

I am a songwriter, composer, and musician based in Edinburgh who believes that learning music is a fun and useful skill that anyone can learn. I write and play in a variety of styles and instruments and besides composition and performance, I have also worked in music tech as an engineer at both music festivals and at renowned venues in Brighton and Edinburgh.

As a composer, I have experience creating soundtracks for films, video games, and audiobooks. I have studied music at A level, Bachelor’s, and now Master’s level, and I have several years of teaching experience across various subjects. I’d love to hear from you – let me know about your goals and interests as I tailor my teaching to each of my student’s specific needs, whether that’s to pass your exams at school, to start finding work in music, or just for fun!
