Teaching

I’ve been a listener and a fan all my life and I’ve absorbed techniques and approaches from the incredible musicians I’ve been lucky to work with - as a guitarist I haven’t only learnt from other guitarists, but from master percussionists, who have opened up the infinite secrets of polyrhythm and syncopation, from singers, whose verve and phrasing teach about presence and space, and from countless master musicians with scales and grooves that speak directly to the heart. I’m happy to work with musicians of any level, to broaden their musical horizons and to help them find the most impactful way of getting their sound across. In the past year, I have led primary school workshops, collaborated with young refugee and asylum seekers, lectured online to universities in Alabama USA and Helsinki, Finland, and given one-to-one lessons and mentoring to music professionals and beginners.
