I offer personalised mentorship in all things music production and folk fiddle, tailoring each session to your goals and current level — whether you’re refining your musical practice, preparing for further study, taking to the stage (or a folky pub session!) building confidence in the studio, or releasing fully produced music to a professional standard. I focus on helping my students do their best work and develop skills that last a lifetime. 

Lessons combine bespoke discussion, practical, hands-on tasks, and expert feedback grounded in real-world musical application.

With over 10 years of professional and academic experience, I have tutored over 100 1:1 students and lead workshops and lectures at Goldsmiths, University of London.

My qualifications include a Master's degree in Popular Music, Grade 8 Scottish Folk Fiddle, and two years of specialist studio engineering training.  My credits span a wide range of artists and projects, including work with Geese, BBC Radio 4, the GB Rowing Team, Bill Dare, Myrkur, Goblin Band, and Folk Of The Round Table.

I bring all of this real-world experience, training, and enthusiasm for professional development to my mentees and students, so you can be sure your learning is in safe and capable hands.

Each session is followed by written notes capturing key insights, progress, and next steps. Online lessons can also be recorded, allowing you to revisit sessions at any time.
