Educator, Drummer, Producer.I am a highly experienced, motivated and passionate music educator, with experience in a wide variety of situations throughout New Zealand, Australia and beyond. My area of expertise is in drum kit tuition, though I have several other areas in which I have extensive experience. In addition to drum kit teaching, I am also an ensemble coach and have provided tuition and guidance in arranging, compositions, recording techniques and rhythm for all instrumentalists. My teaching skills are constantly informed by my performance skills; I firmly believe that a musician learns best when they have practical goals and outcomes. I have a long history as a performer throughout Australasia and internationally. After completing my BMus in 2000 I moved to the US and worked on cruise ships for four years. On my return I established myself as a first call jazz drummer for local and international artists, developing my skills as an accompanist and as a band leader. In 2010 I started focussing on composing my own music and releasing albums, currently I have four acclaimed albums of original music. I have produced albums for others also and am an official endorsee of Tama Drums and Paiste Cymbals. In 2017 I commenced postgraduate study with internationally renowned composer, John Psathas, completing my MMA in Composition in 2018.
