I've been producing, performing, and teaching music to people of all ages for over 10 years.

I'm deeply passionate about music and creating, and love to share the joy and knowledge of how to express oneself musically with my students. His classroom is lively, lighthearted, and upbeat. You can expect lots of encouragement while he gives feedback and pointers to improve. He aims to cultivate your creativity, stretch your musicality, and hone in on what sparks your musical curiosity.
