In 2015 I was awarded a distinction for being one of the top 5 outstanding Woodwind teachers in NSW.
My existing students range in age from 10 - 85 years old and from complete beginners to advanced HSC and Amus students. I have a number of adult learners.
Since graduating in 1993 from the University of New England I have been a successful instrumental sax, clarinet and flute teacher while also building an extensive performance career.
I have successfully taught students from 1st grade to AMUS in the AMEB system, have enjoyed success with students in the ABRSM Jazz course, which involves a substantial amount of improvisation, as well as tutoring HSC students in Music 1 and 2. I have also taught and examined Certificate of Music courses at Tertiary level. I taught woodwind at Newington College for nearly 20 years. I currently work in the Catholic Schools Amadeus program.
Most importantly I make learning a fun, creative musical experience while ensuring high levels of musicianship at all times. With a thorough knowledge of both the AMEB classical syllabus and the ABRSM jazz syllabus and extensive practical experience as a contemporary performer my students are ensured of getting an excellent musical education.
I currently perform in Jazz, Swing, Rock, Funk and African Bands. I have performed and recorded in a variety of settings and toured interstate and overseas.
Currently lead my own Swing /Soul band The Aston Martinis’ and Jazz bandBluelounge’ and work as a freelance musician.
