In recent years have qualified to become a VCE clarinet examiner, and AMEB clarinet and saxophone examiner.

Lessons always focus on reed preparation, tone, technique and repertoire, and may include duet sight-reading, transposition and orchestral excerpts, especially if appropriate for upcoming exams.
