Teaching Info

I’m an experienced and fully qualified teacher, with over 20 years teaching experience, and 20+ years experience as a professional musician. I have guided students through exams (AMEB and St Cecilia), as well as helping students gain entry to tertiary courses (VCA, Monash, ANU).

As well as drum kit, I teach Brazilian percussion and Orchestral percussion, and and am highly experienced in guiding students through VCE Music (all units).
