Bio

As a queer, neurodivergent person, I don’t often see people like me teaching music, and I think I would have benefited from a teacher when I was younger who was sympathetic to the specific barriers I was facing. I survived formal music education but many people like me did not, and their passion and talent for music was left behind and forgotten.

My goal is to be the kind of teacher I needed when I was learning music. My aim is to always lead with kindness, grace and empathy, and make learning music fun, inspiring, and collaborative.

I graduated from a music bachelor’s degree in 2015 and this year (2026) I am going back to university for my master’s degree in Ethnomusicology. I have been teaching music and leading ensembles and choirs for over 15 years. I am passionate and committed to making music accessible for everyone, and I believe that anyone can learn music.
