Personal Description: I was born and live in Glasgow, Scotland. I began playing music at around the age of 6 after some keyboard lessons which I took for a brief time.

I graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 2010 with a BMus (Hons) 1st Class in composition after studying with Dr. Gordon McPherson. I was awarded a scholarship by the RSAMD to continue my studies and I am currently undertaking a Masters there in Composition with Rory Boyle.

I had my first premiere in May 2007 - during my first year of study - at a concert which was part of the festival 'PLUG' held at the RSAMD. So far I have written for the Composia Trio, Soprano Claire Thompson, MusicLab, the Viridian String Quartet, Noisy Nights and Red Note Ensemble. I have featured in several PLUG Festivals, the Brechin Arts Festival and stand-alone concerts organised either by myself or friends.

I am enthusiastic, hard working and reliable.

Tutoring Experience: I have taught a few pupils whilst studying.

Tutoring Approach: You cannot teach composition. I think you can help people get better at what it is they are already doing. I believe that a bespoke approach, especially for composition, is vital for your development.
