Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
From then on, depending on the student's interest, I'll teach them how to play a very simple groove, and start from there. Sooner or later I definitely will focus on the hands technique which is essential not only to improve as a drummer, but also to make sure not to get hurt with unnecesary body tension. I always try to keep the lesson fun and engaging no matter the topic discussed. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students, I use Faber and Faber's Piano Adventures, which offers a variety of supplemental material to encourage a variety of styles. As a musician who values both classical music and improvisation, I teach my students how to use chord sheets very soon after they begin to read music. As their skills increase, so will the variety of music I introduce based on their interest. Since I quit piano at one point around age 10, I empathize with struggling students and try to make music as fun and accessible as possible to help them truly grow a lifelong love of music! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style focuses on what most interests the student and draws them to the particular instrument. We explore different song styles and different exercises that speak to each individual student. I also believe in regularly providing constructive criticism and encouragement for each student's accomplishments. The more you inspire your student, the more driven they become. I encourage students to pick their favorites styles and songs to work on and we then take it from there and provide inspiration and a bit of fun! Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson, while also gently pushing them to take their abilities to the next level when I see that they are ready to. In addition, acknowledging accomplishments help fuel students' desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More

Born in South Africa and raised in Oxford, UK, I began my career as a professional touring and recording musician at the age of sixteen. As a member of the band Stornoway, I had the incredible privilege of touring the world and playing some of it’s most renowned stages, performing live on the UK’s biggest music television program, “Later...with Jools Holland”, alongside Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Norah Jones, and Sting, recording live sessions in the infamous Abbey Road studios for mainstream BBC Radio programs, being interviewed by top music journalists as well as performing on some of the BBC’s main prime-time radio and television political programs including Andrew Marr’s talk-show, and receiving a silver record from BMI for record sales - all before the age of 25.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
My teaching experience started when I was in high school. A lot of children in my neighborhood wanted to learn violin and piano, I suddenly became the neighborhood teacher at just 17! After college I continued teaching privately. I have also taught in public and privet schools. My main passion in teaching is to help ANYONE who wants the gift of playing an instrument. What a thrill it is to see the smile on my students faces when they get on stage and enjoy playing their solo in a recital, or watching my students play in an orchestra. Read More
Instruments: Piano Recorder Keyboard
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would like to be a psychologist, or a music therapist. I have always been very fascinated in the human minds, and people's words, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, actions etc. always get me thinking about the meaning and mechanism behind them. Further education in psychology is still a dream of mine, and I wish to become a music therapist one day in the future (alongside my career in music performance and education) to combine my knowledge in music, performance, education, and the yet to be explored therapeutic works.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
For the recorder: good sound, and good technique. Many people see recorder as an easy and unserious instrument. It is easy to produce a sound on the recorder, but it is extremely hard and takes a lot of dedication to produce a good sound and clean technique (finger technique, articulations etc.). So, I think the hardest thing to master on the recorder is not merely to make sounds, but to make beautiful and clean sounds.
For the piano: precision, and expression. Advanced piano repertoires involves various methods and techniques, and to get them all together precisely takes many hours and years of practice. On top of the extremely tough precisions to handle, piano works have some of the most expressive styles with two hands representing so many different voices.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Yes, Bachelor of music in performance. I wanted to achieve the highest excellency in my instrumental playing, and I believe a degree in performance would have the highest standard for performance in both entry requirement, assessment requirement, and teaching standard. I also understood that a degree in performance also have heavy emphasis in musicology and educational out reach projects with the opportunity to take classes in composition, so I thought an education in performance would be the most well rounded choice.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am the most proud of my ensemble works with various chamber music groups I've worked with and continue to work with. I enjoy playing solo on stage, but playing with a group of musicians, making music collectively, combining different musical ideas into a final expression is something very magical for me. The love for chamber music is also a big reason why I chose to join a historical performance department in Europe, where the medieval style of musicianship is reenacted.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I developed a love for Baroque music when I was in high school, and I succeeded in several early music recorder competitions. With a combination of passion and rewards, I continued to pursue a very special major in the recorder under the historical performance department in the Royal Academy of Music, London.
