I have taught many students over the years, and much of my experience has taken place in a real world rehearsal room environment. With well over 100 productions under my belt I've worked with casts on learning music and shaping songs. As a still working professional this experience makes me highly suited to adjust and respond to every students needs, and meet them where they are in their development. Through crafting 1,000's of performances I can bring you real world application that will best prepare you to find the confidence you need to perform, whether as a hobby or professionally. Read More

Singing is not the same as playing an instrument because you are the instrument.

My teaching experience dates back to the mid 2000's when I began teaching children's musical theater classes for various organisations, such as Vogue Entertainment, Barking Gecko Theatre Company, The Song Room and Majkidz, in my hometown of Perth, Western Australia. I also began teaching private lessons to 8-16 year olds, focusing mainly on musical theater and classical repertoire. As a cabaret performer, I also have experience singing pop, folk and jazz repertoire, so am also comfortable teaching these styles. Read More

Positive reinforcement is key. I never learned from the mean or the overly strict teachers. In fact those teachers pushed me in the opposite direction of wanting to pursue music professionally.

I also have received Cum Laude for the three aforementioned degrees (2009, 2010, 2011). All of my students have become professionals themselves and are teaching and performing at the same time.
