I learned classical piano from age 5 through to teenage years and majored in composition at Waikato University.

Teaching Info

I try to bring a friendly, supportive yet structured & progress-oriented approach to learning the piano. Students come to lessons for different reasons: for pure enjoyment, curiosity about music and how it works, or wanting lessons structured towards sitting exams. I enjoy exploring a range of musical styles with students according to their interests. I can also teach theory-only lessons.
