Composer with teaching degree and 8+ years teaching experience offering fun, friendly lessons tailored to your learning goals

I teach general music, Higher Music, music theory, and composition. My aim is for you to come away from each lesson feeling motivated and confident. I'm friendly and encouraging, and believe that people learn best when they're relaxed. I enjoy teaching and find it super rewarding to see students achieve their learning goals. I've taught at schools, conservatoire and university. I have a teaching degree, a Master in Musicology: Communication and Education, and a Bachelor and PgDip in Composition. I'm also finishing a PhD in Composition. As a composer, I've written for Dutch National Opera, Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, RSNO, BBC NOW, Concertgebouworkest Young, and LPO. I'm happy to teach at any level from age 8 upwards.
