As a teacher, I believe that the only thing more important than having good, foundational instrumental technique is that you use that technique to explore and enjoy your instrument!

I have been performing professionally as a bassist and classical guitarist for over a decade in concerts, shows and studio recordings in Cardiff, Bristol, Southampton and the South West.

During my degree in Music and Philosophy, I spent a year studying Music Education at the Charles University of Prague. This inspired me to take a PGCE (Music) at the University of Bristol where I earned Qualified Teacher Status as a music teacher, before moving to Cardiff to teach music in primary and secondary schools.

My teaching specialisms are classical guitar (Spanish guitar), bass guitar (rock, jazz, punk), ukulele (indie) and music production (Logic Pro X).
