I am passionate music educator, and I believe that music has the power to surpass the differences we find in colour, creed, class, culture and country. Music unites, and I believe my role as a teacher is to facilitate understanding, foster curiosity, encourage growth and to lead by example. 

I specialise in teaching vocals and piano to students of all ages, from school-aged children through to adult professionals and retirees. I seek to mentor and empower, and I love finding new ways to connect with my students so that they grow in their skills and curiosity towards music.

In the last 16 years, I have taught both privately and as a group class teacher for schools such as Australian Music Schools (AMS), Forte School of Music, Georges River College - Penshurst Girls Campus and consulted for the Michelle Efferin Music Centre in Bandung ID as a Vocal Coach Consultant for local music teachers. 

I am a professional musician, and having studied vocal technique and approach in my teens with Bob Tasman-Smith (Julie Anthony, Nathan Foley, Cameron Daddo), I went on to study under the tutelage of some Australia’s most renown musicians; most notably Joy Yates (Van Morrison, Chaka Khan, Cat Stevens, Gladys Knight), Dave MacRae (Buddy Rich, Ronnie Scott, Cliff Richard), Sean Coffin (The Coffin Brothers, Intrinsonic), Greg Coffin (The Coffin Brothers, Java Quartet) and Edoardo Santoni (The Velvet Fog).

In 2007, I graduated from the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) with a Bachelor of Music (Hons). As a featured vocalist and bandleader within Sydney’s live-music scene, and a former member of the acclaimed jazz-gospel vocal group, Jubilation, led by Joy Yates and Dave MaCrae, I have worked with artists such as Leo Sayer, Jessica Mauboy, Paulini, Delta Goodrem and Jimmy Barnes.
