With over 20 years of experience in music education, I am a dedicated Composition and Drum Kit teacher passionate about inspiring students of all ages and backgrounds. My approach combines engaging lesson plans with the latest technology to foster a positive learning environment. I have successfully taught students to improve their musical abilities and nurture their passion for music.
Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including Audio Network, where I composed music for numerous TV channels worldwide, and Hoxton Hall, where I facilitated workshops for young musicians. My achievements include directing workshops that empower students to create their own rhythms and songs, as well as collaborating with renowned artists and producers to achieve desired sounds for productions.
I am currently seeking a challenging position that allows me to continue inspiring others through music education and composition. My goal is to create a lasting impact on my students and help them develop their musical talents to their fullest potential.
