About

As a passionate music education facilitator, I am dedicated to helping you discover the incredible world of music and learn how to use that voice to express yourself musically, particularly in those moments when words simply fail.

My own journey is one of continuous exploration, wearing hats as a Composer, Ethnographic Musicologist (with interests spanning microtonal and ethnic music), Researcher, Multi-instrumentalist, and Teacher.

My academic foundation, including a Grade 8 LCM Piano (distinction), Grade 7 Theory, CT ABRSM, DipLCM(TD), ALCM(TD), LLCM(TD), and an MA(Mus)(Open) in Musicology, informs my unique approach. This broad perspective, including a fascination with concepts like the circle of fifths and the origins of music, is woven into the Triquetrae Teaching Programme.

I developed the Triquetrae Programme to offer a truly comprehensive musical education, one that not only builds technical skill and theoretical understanding but also empowers you to find personal meaning and expression through music.

The Magic of Pitch, Movement, and Melody: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

To adults, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is often seen as a simple bedtime lullaby passed down through generations. However, within the early childhood curriculum at Major Minor’s Music Academy, this iconic song serves as one of our most effective pedagogical anchors.

More Than Just a Movement Song: The Story Behind "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"

Every parent knows the familiar rhythm of "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." It is often one of the very first action songs a child learns, filling playrooms and early childhood classrooms with laughter, energy, and coordinated taps from head to toe. While it seems like simple playtime fun, this classic song is actually a powerhouse of physical development, linguistic rhythm, and musical training.
