I trained as a classical pianist and afterwards worked as an opera repetiteur and freelance accompanist for many years. I became interested in popular music education while teaching at Illawarra Institute of TAFE, and afterwards established the Music Industry Centre at the Canberra Institute of Technology (now part of Communication, Media and Music), where I developed curriculum and contributed to the (Australian) National Training Package for Music. I managed and taught at the Music Industry Centre for five years, before leaving to finish my MPhil in Electronic Arts at ANU.

Mostly centre around rock music and music-making processes, timing, movement, and philosophy of music.
