Teaching Philosophy
I don't care how you sound, or how you play. Heart and desire are the two most important qualities I look for in a student, and if I cannot find that, I'll search for it. I've known too many friends who gave up musical education because it wasn't suitable for their needs or ambitions. I strive to combat this attrition by actually providing students a place where they can learn to, or maintain a love for music. Of course I balance that against hard work and dedication too, but if the spark is not there in a student, I will take time to find that for them. I will follow structured education plans, or I can take a flexible approach. For me, it is imperative to discuss with parents / family and students alike, what is the reason for the lessons, and why they want music in their life. I won't deny someone the opportunity to be a part of music, but I need to know how I can help you there.
Musical Education
I have attended the following schools: - Trinity College Dublin - Bachelor in Music - Royal Irish Academy - Senior Certificate Musical Theatre - Royal Irish Academy - Grade 7 Pianoforte Pedagogically, my experience comes from directing and managing Trinitones A Cappella (2019), teaching a diverse group of singers new material, to be performed all over Ireland, and the world. I gained further experience from the nuns of St. Angeles Music Academy, whom taught me piano, afforded me the opportunity to teach both voice and piano for total beginners to students seeking an accelerated education. From 2013 - 2024, I have held a leading role in over 14 musicals and shows, including Les Mis (Enjolras), Mamma Mia (Sky), All Shook Up (Chad), Avenue Q (Nicky), Evita (Augustin Magaldi), Hairspray (Wilbur), Miss Saigon (John), Jesus Christ Superstar (Herod), Hucklebuck (Lead Singer).

Special Skills and Trainings
I draw a lot of my performance from my own personal connection how music makes me feel, and how music physically sits with me. I am excited by music, and I love the opportunity to share it and enhance others appreciation for it. I don't come from an overly musical family, so this has left me to understand a lot of what music means to me personally, and with this, I have developed a deep appreciation for how to work with others to broaden their appreciate, and strengthen their participation.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
