Teacher Info

I am a Guitarist, Composer, Teacher and Ethnomusicologist based in North London.

I grew up studying classical guitar, honing my technique before reaching university. I was then exposed to Indonesian gamelan, West African guitar music and English folk melodies and fell in love with all these soundworlds. Since then, I’ve been performing, arranging and composing a wide variety of music with the guitar as my instrument of choice while still maintaining close traditional instrumental links.

As a teacher, I have taught large group workshops at Cardiff Guitar Festival and have been teaching beginner students one-to-one. My lessons are performance focused, as I believe everyone has a natural performer inside of them. I’ve been sharing a whole world’s worth of music for many years now, and hope to do so for more to come.

Music Qualifications & Achievements:

I have a First Class BMus degree in Music from Cardiff University and am currently studying for a Masters in Music at SOAS University of London.

I have studied up to Grade 8 in the Trinity College London syllabus.

I’ve been performing across the country for the best part of five years, and have recorded an impressive collection of music. This includes my debut album ‘The Wallace Line’, a collection of original songs and arrangements, inspired by my work with African, Indonesian, Classical and Folk music. I am especially proud of this album, recorded at my home during the COVID lockdowns and being a true expression of my own language as a musician.

As I’ve been stepping into a more creative and fulfilling period as a performer, I’ve been inspired to begin teaching and help others develop their skills – I want every musician to be the most creative versions of themselves they can be.
