Summary
I am a qualified music teacher currently teaching voice and performance at the Wits Music School. I am energetic, discipled and I am always striving to do my best in any task presented to me. I am also skilled in piano accompaniment for my vocal and ensemble students. I work well with people from all walks of life. I possess extensive knowledge about the music industry and the arts and this has been advantageous for my high school students especially those who desire to make music their career of choice. In 2023, I was selected as an artist fellow at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) focusing on sound scholarship.
