I have a great love and energy for guiding the next wave of young talents, ensuring they feel inspired in their journey that is transitioning between student and professional! I teach many masterclasses around a busy schedule of performing in my own country (Australia; Far North QLD) and Europe where I am based for the majority of the year. My teaching style is the calm way forward, creating systematic exercises that suit the individual needs of the advanced student where solutions rather than problems are met, working together to achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time. Musical creativity is the ultimate goal, always finding inspiration to try new ways to interpret. In the technical, I work via the bow and its role in developing nuance, character and colour in phrasing and using the 'inner ear' to guide the sound.

Thank you to the QLD Music Teachers Association for hosting a huge day of music making in tropical Far North Queensland. Started the day teaching a masterclass with four incredibly talented violinists from cairns including Wieniawski virtuosic repertoire singing out of a violin from a young lad a quarter of my height 😆 A chamber performance of the Bach A minor Violin Concerto concluded the day! So incredibly proud of my home region; its teachers, students and community. 🌴

Masterclasses were held in towns of Atherton and Malanda as well as the Tinaroo Lakes area for pre-tertiary aged students funded by the Regional Arts Development Fund; a partnership between the Tablelands Regional Council and Queensland Arts.
