About Me
I have been playing the saxophone since I was aged 11 (I'm now 32!) and have been a professional musician since graduating from The Royal Academy of Music. I have played all over the world with artists including The Maccabees, Michael Kiwanuka, and Gloria Gaynor, and have been a part of the X-Factor Big Band several times.I love to teach - sharing knowledge is such a huge part of being a musician, whether it's honing specific skills of an advanced player, or just working out how to make a great sound as a beginner. The absolute number 1 thing is to keep music fun!
That's why we do it, and that's why we love it!

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.
If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.
Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Flute, Piano, Singing, Saxophone, Clarinet and Music Theory LessonsI teach instrumental lessons (face to face from my Music Studio and online) on flute, piano, singing, saxophone and clarinet, as well as music theory. I also offer general musical skills sessions for young children who are not quite old enough to learn one specific instrument yet.
I have experience as a Music Teacher and Lecturer for schools and colleges, so I also offer help with GCSE and A-Level Music.
I attend regular Safeguarding training and I have an advanced DBS on the update service. I also have experience working with children who have special educational needs and EHCP’s.
Learning music and an instrument as well as being part of a group or ensemble, is about much more than becoming a performer. The skills and techniques learnt, are incredibly versatile for use in other subjects as well as being valuable life skills. Below are some of the skills which are developed in Music:
Co-ordination
Motor skills
Imagination
Expression
Commitment
Discipline
Organisation skills
Self evaluation
Confidence
Team work
Communication
Support
Setting targets and goals
Sense of achievement
I am also a Musical Director for choirs where the importance is on community, enjoyment, health and well being and making sure that people feel included and good about singing with a wide range of repertoire including classical, folk, jazz, gospel, pop and musical theatre.
I also have experience of running school and college choirs, orchestras and ensembles. I choose repertoire of various genres for students to explore different sounds and styles, with some being quicker to learn but effective, to build a more instant satisfaction and confidence within the group, while other pieces are more technical, allowing students to challenge themselves.
As well as being a solo Flautist, Singer, and Saxophonist, I am part of an acoustic Classical Flute and Guitar duo, a Folk duo, a Jazz ensemble and a Folk Rock band, performing at weddings, private functions, festivals and events.

If you are looking for a passionate musician to explore together not only the countless paths of musical art but also new ways of approaching European, Jazz and Modal music, you have to just click.
Send me a message and we will make together a personal plan about you that will take advantage of all your possibilities!
The lessons are available for all levels and ages, from beginners to professional musicians. My teaching plans are individualized to focus on the aesthetic and style that each musician wants to explore.
My teaching method is described by the word "decoding", which refers to the process by which the practitioner musician studies the various aspects of the musical practice to gain a meaningful understanding of the aesthetics, sound & timbre, time period and functionality of each piece or improvisation.
So...
• If you want to explore the possibilities of the saxophone and its sound,
• If you are interested in improvisation,
• Ιf you want to delve into the paths of music theory and practical musical analysis,
• If you start to create your new project or set up your new band and you are looking for your sound in that context,
and especially:
• If you want to re-imagine and re-consider the musical practice and your hidden artistic-self
Then this class is for you!

Piano (classical - jazz/pop) and/or vocal (jazz/pop) lessonsHello and welcome to my music studio! It is absolutely fabulous that you are interested in music, and I hope you have lots and lots of fun with it! However, diving into the wonders of the piano/keyboard can be a bit overwhelming... and that is where I come in!
This course is for anyone from complete beginners to advanced students, from lessons that focus completely on classical music to lessons that include or focus on the basics of jazz/pop. If you like to sing, we can also work on the basics of jazz/pop vocal, so you can learn to accompany yourself at the piano.
In our lessons, technique will be an inherent part of the training, as well as analysis, basic music theory, and efficient ways of practicing music. If that all sounds good to you, then please reach out to me and we can start ASAP!
Lessons can be in English or Dutch.

Every day, I strive to become a better musician and person, and I aim to transfer that passion to my students.

Jazz Piano, Jazz improvisation, Jazz Chord Progression, singing on your own piano accompaniment,I studied Jazz at Berklee College of Music. I was a classic pianist. It was not easy to adjust my classic chord progression to Jazz progression. There must be many people struggling to play jazz with classic music fingering. I can help you to make your sounds like real jazz music. Playing piano is so much fun, When you play, you got to sing.and make it more fun. Most of the piano course start with white keys in C major. My lesson starts with F#/Gb scale which is the pentatonic scale. You won't have any fear to deal with black keys. You are not supposed to count music. You need to feel it, groove it and enjoy it. Let's have fun together!!
