*ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE*

I am a professional trumpet player, jazz musician and music teacher living in London.

For the past six years I have been working as a professional jazz musician in Europe, having initially studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and Codarts University of the Arts. I obtained my initial Bachelor’s degree at Royal Holloway University of London.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I currently work as a peripatetic brass tutor at a school in London and continue to teach online and privately.

I was on the brass faculty at the British School in the Netherlands. Aside from teaching there, I was involved in many of the schools ensembles, working in the school orchestra, funk, brass and jazz bands.

I worked as a private brass tutor for Vivaldi School of Music. Here I taught a range of students of varying ages and abilities from complete beginners to advanced musicians and adult learners.

I have a lot of experience teaching early years brass, having developed many young and beginner musicians to a high level of proficiency and motivation on their instrument beyond their years. Aside from this my professional experiences have helped more advanced students of mine into music college and into the professional industry. I am also happy to guide students through graded exams.

Aside from teaching brass, I also teach piano as well as the theory of jazz improvisation.
