Biography:

I completed my music degree at University of Surrey nine years ago. Whilst there, I specialised in performance, performing solos, chamber music and in the university orchestra. Shortly after I graduated, I performed the Nielsen Flute Concerto with Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra.

Since university, I have played for Epsom Symphony Orchestra, Croydon Symphony Orchestra and Thames Philharmonia, as well performing a variety of chamber music.

More recently, I have branched out from my classical routes, composing, improvising, recording and performing music in various styles with musicians in Guildford and London, forming various musical projects. I am kept busy by performing gigs with my band and currently work with various music producers, with whom I have several tracks, which have been released internationally.

How much do you charge?
£15 for 30 minutes
£20 for 40 minutes
£30 for 60 minutes

Where do you teach?
I teach the flute at my home in Crouch End, right next door to Hornsey Rail and near Turnpike Lane tube. Wood Green, Harringay, Enfield, Muswell Hill, Highgate, Tottenham, Southgate, North Finchley, Manor House, Finsbury Park and other north London areas.

Do you have a personal message for students?
I believe that music is one of the greatest gifts one can have and it is my pleasure to be able to pass this on to others. It continues to give me great joy when I hear my pupils expressing their innermost emotions through their music. If you would like to feel moved by the music you play, come and have a trial lesson!
