Arrange a trialAbout Angus
Music has been central to my life since I was six.
I first fell in love with the piano after hearing the Doctor Who theme played by my first piano teacher. Since then, I’ve followed the music that resonates, from Bach and Bartók to Gershwin, Glass and Reich.
As a performer and composer, I’ve learnt how to listen, create and adapt. That’s what I bring to each lesson: a thoughtful, flexible approach that helps every student find their own spark.
