Teaching
I am a Lecturer of Music and teach across the BA (Hons) Music and BA (Hons) Musical Theatre courses. I often support students across modules with music theory, ensemble music practice, performance, and composition.
Research
In my music-making, teaching, and research, I am particularly interested in exploring notions of brevity and how that might manifest in the music that I create. I am also interested in how we embed opportunities for enterprise and entrepreneurship in artistic disciplines in higher education and its impact on graduate prospects.
