About

After graduating with a BA in Music in 2011, I spent my early career as a tutor, performer and composer - later becoming an RSL/Yamaha examiner and author of a piano education book. In 2022, I completed an MSc in Music For Screen - a course that introduced me to software development and sparked my passion for building digital tools. Today I build commercial digital products using modern web technologies (Typescript, Next.js, LLM integration) and cloud infrastructure. I also teach piano locally - with traditional grades and a specical focus on creativity, composition and improvisation.

Beginner to Composer in 14 Days

Author

This isn’t a textbook. It’s a creative journey that teaches you piano through composition, improvisation, and musical thinking - not repetition. You’ll write your own pieces, build musical instincts, and develop real fluency - even if you’re starting from scratch.
