I started working for Melodi Music Trust from 2008 till date, teaching recorder in two public schools. I subsequently joined the Melodi Music Trust Ensemble where I had the opportunity to travel the world giving performances in various auditoriums and schools, including performing for the Lord Mayer of the town of Leeds (England) at a Christmas concert and also at the Royal Conservator (Hague) in Amsterdam. Besides my passion for music I also love teaching and working with children. I love composing my own music as well and am working on showcasing my songs with a debut album and a variety of shows. My favorite music styles (arrangement and performance) include Gospel, Instrumental and Rhythm and Blues.’
