I have been playing music for over 20 years and writing songs for about 15 years. I have written/co-written somewhere around 100 songs, including 5 albums and 3 EPs with various bands. I have toured with multiple bands up and down the East Coast and currently operate a record label called Side Stare Music, which has a partnership with Gaga Music (Vic). I have a modest home studio with a nice piano-style keyboard (weighted keys), two synthesisers, two acoustic guitars, three electric guitars, a bass guitar, drum kit, and a recording setup.
I can't teach how to read or write sheet music; however, I have a deep understanding of music theory as it relates to songwriting. The Beatles couldn't sight-read music and wrote some of the best songs ever made! I can teach how to be creative with music. I aim to keep it fun and engaging by relating as much as possible to the students' favourite songs and eventually, their own! Visit the link to the right of this text to see my educational Instagram clips for a sample of what I teach.
I have a current Blue Card (Working With Children Card) and relevant music tuition insurance.
