Professional:

I am a musician and teacher, teaching piano, keyboard, guitar and bass guitar in my home studio, in students' homes, and at three local schools in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. I am able to prepare students for A.M.E.B. examinations in Piano.

I perform music, mainly playing guitar and singing with my band, Blackwood. We play mainly 60's and 70's covers. I have also recently performed as fill-in bass player with local bluegrass and gospel band, The HillWilliams.

I play bass guitar with the student band at one of my schools, and play piano and guitar for the student choir at another.

I also like to get out and do some busking, often at St. Andrews market (an hour north-east of Melbourne).

Family:

I am married to lovely lady who makes crystal jewellery and pretty dangly things, and sells crystals and her craft at St. Andrews Market every Saturday, and in the Main Street of Mornington every Wednesday.

We have three children. Our eldest son is 17 and studying(!) for his year 12 VCE. Our second son is 14 and in year 9. Our daughter is 11 and in grade 6.
