I want all my lessons to be focused around what the student shows interest in and what those interests look like in fun, engaging and informative lessons.

After working in a variety of settings with a whole range of students I believe that I can provide the correct and adaptable lessons for each individual I teach. From my experience of school a lot of the music teachers I had lacked any industry experience which did lead to a lack of motivation. I have spent the past 6 years crafting my art as a professional DJ and artist and have played across the globe for many shows.

I have spent the past 4 years developing studios in Manchester and opening up opportunities to individuals I have taught when the time is right. For example recently one of my students after showing colleagues of mine her mixes and songs has gone on to get a residency in Manchester where for the first time she gets to play to crowds and have her art recognised and appreciated.

Music has been and always will be at the forefront of my passions and my mission is purely to help others see that or unlock their potential within.
