Teaching Philosophy
After playing various instruments from age 5, I discovered my passion for the drum kit at age 13 and have since toured nationally and studied music at the Australian National University (ANU). My experiences performing and learning across genres inspire my teaching approach.
I focus on nurturing students’ creativity, technique, and love of rhythm, helping each learner develop their unique musical voice. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refine your skills, my lessons are tailored to your goals and pace.
