Learn from Great Organ Teachers

I started playing clarinet in a very good public school band program. My high school band was good enough to perform at Yankee Stadium during the World Series in 1976. Upon graduating from high school in 1980 I attended Montclair State University where I studied clarinet, saxophone and flute, graduating in 1986 with a degree in music education.

ORGAN, PIANO AND TEACHING EXPERIENCE: I started with organ lessons in primary school and studied organ under the guidance of Prof. Wim Viljoen at the University of Pretoria. I also took part in UNISA’s first National Organ competition in 1996. I also acted as organist at many churches during the years in Pretoria and Louis Trichardt.

I am a passionate music teacher, performer, and songwriter with a deep belief in music as a path to self-expression, connection, and transformation. With years of experience across multiple genres — from rock and blues to world music and singer-songwriter traditions — I guide students not just in technique, but in finding their unique voice and musical identity.
