As a performer, singing and playing piano and guitar, I have a diverse and versatile repertoire reflecting a broad interest in musical styles across popular music, jazz and classical.  I love the opportunity to work on acoustic and electronic instruments with both guitar and piano.  And I love to sing, by myself but even more so mixing harmonies with others. 

I also lead the Beatroot Jam trio which works from a base of vintage country music with elements of swing, R&B and improvisation thrown in. 

As a teacher, I am running the music program at Wonthaggi Community VCAL (since 2015)  and have individual students on piano and guitar at Bass Valley Primary and at my own studio.

In the background I am writing music, mainly in the jazz/fusion mode, but including some singer/songwriter storytelling. For my own interest and some of my students I am getting into some  electronic music creation and current state technology for creating and capturing music. 

​ Too much fun!
