​I'm an experienced composition workshop leader for all ages, and am currently an associate composer with Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG) where I am working on their Listen, Imagine, Composer project. Through this project I am working with primary school aged pupils and their teachers to develop their creative composition skills.

Composition, Music Theory and Aural Skills Teacher

​I am an experienced saxophone, composition and music theory/aural skills teacher based in South Birmingham. I have an enhanced DBS check and am always happy to talk to new students. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

​​I currently teach composition at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Junior Department where I previously also taught Aural Skills classes.  My students have gone onto study at Royal Northern College of Music, Oxford University and Cambridge University. 

If you are looking to improve your composing skills in any style or genre then I can help you. Whether you are writing for acoustic instruments, a songwriter, working with electronics or creating tracks with your computer then I can work with you to take your creativity to the next level. If you are hoping to apply to study composition or music at a university or music college I can help you prepare for your entrance exam and advise on how to make a great application. 

If you are looking to take graded theory exams or just want to improve your knowledge of music theory including: general notation, music reading, transposition, transcription, music history & context, key signatures etc. just get in touch! Perhaps you are preparing for entrance exams or want to improve your aural (listening) skills? Just get in touch to see how I can help.
