About Me

I have experience teaching all ages and all abilities, from beginners looking to pick up a new skill to advanced players wanting to improve and express themselves and everything in between! I specialise in Celtic and Americana folk music, and can also teach general musicianship skills such as theory and writing music - whether you're learning for a hobby, to perform with a band, or to play with a singer.

​

I have developed my own skills through years of study. I started learning music when I was five years old, beginning with piano. I continued to learn classical piano until I finished high school. I began studying violin when I was eight, beginning with classical music but soon focusing on traditional music. For a while, I was lucky enough to have lessons on bagpipes, mandolin, guitar, and singing, and attended ensemble classes from string chamber orchestra to jazz ensemble to chorus.

 

I was fortunate to grow up in an area with a very lively music scene for a rural state, and - largely thanks to the Concord Community Music School - took advantage of all the opportunities I had to perform with and learn from local peers and professionals.

​

By the time I left New Hampshire to study traditional music and pursue a music career in Glasgow, I had been writing, arranging and performing in a band for four years. As a result, I was completely ready to take advantage of the abundance of music and musicians in a city with such a thriving traditional music scene. At university, I studied under Marie Fielding, Ali McCulloch, Greg Lawson, Jenn Butterworth, and many more of the best musicians and teachers in Scotland. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2019 with an honours degree, getting top marks for my final recital, in which I was accompanied by Rory Matheson, who currently plays in Fara and Trip; and Rufus Huggan, member of Snuffbox and fellow member of the Routes Quartet.

​

As a result of spending so much of of my life immersed in the creation, learning and teaching of music, I am eager to share my knowledge of music and how to play fiddle and piano, and can help you through every step of the way!
