About

  • Male

  • Teaching since January 1997

  • Teaches special needs

  • Teaches students aged 10+

As a qualified Alexander Technique teacher as well as being a guitar and banjo teacher, I can help you to play efficiently, meaning both a better quality of performance and less chance of injury. In the lessons we can balance technique, creativity, and expression in whatever combination is most inspiring and effective for you.
The process can be a lot of fun!

Every player is unique, with their own tastes, desires, psychology and physiology, so each student will respond has their own unique learning style. I enjoy learning about my students so that I can help them to achieve their own goals, in the way that works for them.

I’ve played in many bands for many years, including
several international tours with gypsy band Lolo Lovina.
various Australian tours with my prog-jazz-metal band, Fabulous Contraption

I graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2004 with a Bmus.studies(Musicology) degree.
I graduated from Sydney Alexander Technique as an Alexander Technique teacher in 2016.
I studied classical guitar with Philip Houghton for three years, as well as studying jazz, folk, rock, metal, and other styles all my life.
