For the Creative, the Curious, and the Quirky: Personalised Music Lessons with Heart
I’m a seasoned guitar and piano keyboard teacher, performer, and composer with nearly two decades of experience. I hold a BMus (Hons) from Chichester University (UK), an RSL (Rockschool) Music Teacher’s Diploma, and I’m a SACE-registered educator, committed to professional, student-centred music education in South Africa.
Based in Fish Hoek, Cape Town, I offer in-person music lessons by travelling to students’ homes within the Fish Hoek Valley (including Noordhoek and surrounding areas), as well as online music lessons worldwide, including for students in Johannesburg and abroad.
My teaching is designed for creative, introspective, and quirky minds — people who see music as a way to express themselves and understand the world.
As a guitar and piano keyboard teacher, I focus on strong musical foundations alongside creativity and emotional expression. I teach piano fundamentals and musicianship, and I also work with keyboards for contemporary styles, supporting modern, personal, and flexible musical goals.
My approach blends solid technique with creativity and modern tools, including multi-camera online lesson setups, personalised practice plans, and flexible lesson structures. I take pride in patient, individualised teaching that makes music feel accessible, meaningful, and deeply personal.
Students will need their own guitar or keyboard, and online learners should have a stable internet connection for the best experience.
Whether you’re in Fish Hoek, elsewhere in Cape Town, still in Johannesburg, or joining from anywhere in the world, I’m here to help you build confidence, skill, and your own authentic musical voice.
