Teaching
I began my teaching career in higher education in 2007 and have taught at UWL from the inception of the Popular Music programmes in 2011. My specialisms are vocal technique, style and performance, and I also teach music pedagogy on the MMus programme. I have been Principal Lecturer/Head of Vocals at BIMM London since 2012, overseeing vocal provision and curriculum, and I created the online Developing Voice and Style module for Tileyard Education's MA in Songwriting and Production.
