Teaching

I teach across music industry studies, copyright and contracts, AI and digital media, and music performance and pedagogy. My teaching is both research-led and practice-informed, and I am particularly interested in helping students connect academic concepts, legal and policy debates, and real-world industry practice. Across my teaching, I aim to support students in developing critical thinking, subject expertise, and confidence in applying their knowledge to contemporary challenges in music and the creative industries.
