About
International School Leadership: From 2015 to 2020, I served as the Choir Teacher at the International School of Uganda (ISU), where I trained students for ISSEA, a prestigious international competition across Africa.
Musical Theater Direction: I have vocally prepared students for large-scale professional productions, including Mamma Mia! and Into the Woods.
Ensemble Building: I successfully formed and directed a junior school rock band, teaching students to integrate drums, guitars, and piano into a cohesive sound.
Community Impact: Since 2017, I have led singing classes for the Worship and Arts Camp in Tororo, helping children in vulnerable areas record music that is professionally mixed and mastered in the USA.
Multi-Instrumental Instruction: I have held teaching positions at several elite institutions, including the British School of Kampala and Kampala International School Uganda (KISU).
Teaching Style
Technical Foundation: Lessons emphasize core mechanics such as breath support, vocal technique, and various styles of singing.
Rhythmic Integration: For guitar and contemporary music, I focus on numbers, scales, and complex strumming patterns that move beyond basic notation.
Performance-Ready Focus: I prepare students for the stage by focusing on stage performance and building the "vocal freedom" necessary for live delivery.
Holistic Expression: Drawing from my experience teaching dance and junior school summer camps, I integrate movement and sound to ensure a "wholesome experience" for the student
