OVERVIEW

 

I am an experienced performer, composer, arranger and music tutor. I graduated in music composition and performance and completed an MA in Songwriting. Also, I was trained by internationally recognised and acclaimed musicians, such as Néstor Eidler and Miguel Angel Cherubito. 

 

​​As a music tutor and facilitator, I have experience working in both academic and supportive environments with students of a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and needs. 

​

I am currently working as a composer and session musician for Blank Canvas Music Ltd, as well as a freelance tutor for the Bristol Beacon, where I teach guitar and lead Open Orchestras with SEND students.
