• 1) When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?

  I first developed a passion for music as young as three years old. This was because I started taking musical theatre classes which involved singing, acting and dancing. Music plays an important role in all three disciplines, therefore my passion started very early on in life. My favourite instrument is the piano as it is the perfect accompaniment for many art forms such as singing and ballet. Piano is also perfect for studying and relaxing.

• 2) Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

  Due to my personal connection to the musical, I could listen to the musical soundtrack of 'The Phantom of the Opera' all day without getting bored. The music in the show is versatile as it has ballads, arias, patter songs and love songs which is why I love it so much.

• 3) Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

  The most difficult course I could personally give to a student is training them for a diploma or training them for auditions. The reason being, the courses involve a lot of practice outside of lessons. It also requires me to teach material the student may not vibe with but is necessary for their end goal which can be tricky.

• 4) What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

  An instrument that I think is the hardest to master is the viola. The reason why is because it requires you to be able to read the alto clef as well as the standard treble clef and bass clef. There is also a lot of skill involved when it comes to playing string instruments.

• 5) What are your keys to success?

  To be successful in your craft, you must first and foremost believe in yourself. It is easier said than done. If you believe that you can, you are more likely to succeed. Practice is also key. Without it, you will not progress.

• 6) Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.

  Three musicians I would love to meet are Stephen Sondheim, John Deacon and Bach. Stephen Sondheim because of his creativity when it comes to writing music and lyrics; John Deacon because of his immense talent at playing the bass, and I would love to hear his stories about being a part of the band queen; and Bach well… because his music is just so brilliant.

• 7) Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

  A relevant anecdote I recall was when I sang in front of my entire school in year 7. It was probably the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life. Over 1,000 students (the majority of them older than me) all watched me sing by myself for over three minutes. I often think about how my life would be different if I hadn't had the courage to do that.

• 8) What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

  I understand the biology, flexibility and journey of the voice. I work differently with every voice as every voice is unique. I also had a tough time learning about my voice and therefore had to teach myself a lot. Because of this, I can pass my knowledge on to all of my students and make it so much easier for them to learn. I also have a singing teaching diploma, so I have extensive knowledge about singing and the voice in general.
