I offer individual online lessons in composition, experimental instrumental practice, improvisation and creative musicianship. My teaching is designed for students seeking a rigorous yet highly personalised learning environment; one that supports technical development, artistic clarity and the cultivation of an individual voice.
As a composer, performer and academic, I work with each student in a way that responds to their specific goals, abilities, interests and artistic direction. Lessons are tailored rather than standardised and may include work in technique, repertoire, improvisation, composition, critical listening and broader creative development.
I see teaching as a form of mentorship as much as instruction. Rather than offering a fixed method, I aim to create a structured but flexible framework in which each student can deepen their practice, expand their musical thinking, and develop confidence in their own creative direction.
Depending on the student, lessons may focus on:
​
-
compositional development
-
experimental and extended instrumental practice
-
improvisation
-
repertoire and interpretive work
-
listening practices and critical reflection
-
building a sustainable independent practice
Lessons are suited to students, emerging artists and dedicated practitioners who want thoughtful, high-level guidance in contemporary, experimental and creative music practice. They may be particularly useful for those seeking one-to-one support in developing their artistic voice, compositional practice or experimental approach to performance.

All lessons are conducted online and are individually tailored. Students are encouraged to arrive prepared, with relevant materials and a clear sense of what they would like to work on, while remaining open to the broader directions that may emerge through ongoing study. Independent practice between lessons is strongly encouraged.
