Hi! I’m Jayden, a clarinettist and first-year Bachelor of Law (Honours) and Music student at Monash University. I offer private clarinet and music theory lessons for students of all ages and abilities.

I hold an AMEB LMus with distinction qualification and have extensive performance experience across orchestral, chamber and solo settings. I currently perform with ensembles including National and State Young Manheim Symphonists, Arcadia Winds, Monash Academy Orchestra and the Australian Youth Orchestra National Music Camp and Young Symphonist Program. I also perform chamber music with the Triolla Trio and Monash Wind Quintet, as well as having solo performance experience at venues and events including the Kingston Arts Centre and Monash University Open Day.

I have experience teaching clarinet and music theory, including helping students prepare for AMEB examinations and VCE Music Performance. Lessons can cover tone production, breathing, technique, articulation, sight-reading, music theory, repertoire and performance skills, with lessons tailored to each student's individual goals and level.

I have participated in masterclasses with professional clarinettists Nicole van Bruggen through Musica Viva and Paul Champion, and was a two-time winner of the Yarra Valley Grammar School Concerto Competition.

Whether you're learning clarinet for the first time, preparing for an AMEB exam, working towards VCE Music Performance, preparing for an audition, or simply wanting to improve your playing, I aim to make lessons engaging, supportive and enjoyable.
