I am a professional bassoonist performing in the best early music groups in Belgium, Europe and Australia. I specialise on baroque bassoon, and can teach both early bassoon and modern bassoon. Students will learn repertoire specifically chosen for their level, and learn all basic techniques for playing the bassoon. Also there will be lessons about reeds, and general music theory, and musicianship.

What is that thing that makes a fire burn in your heart? That connects your mind to the earth? Keeps your feet on the ground while your head floats effortlessly in an easy balance? What gives a wonderful free-flowing warmth to your spine, hips, shoulders, arms and hands? What gives a sense of belonging to your whole body? It's belly dancing! Who hasn’t ever wondered what it would be like to no longer have inhibitions around our deliciously soft , round, fabulous curves? Are you slim or voluptuous? Are you old or young? It does not matter, everyone can enjoy and benefit from this dance form. Our bodies as women, men, non binary people -made for nurturing, holding, giving birth, expressing passion, flowing freely, allowing connection within ourselves and connection with the world around us. All of us can learn to find a deeper connection to owning our bodies and our selves, and finding the confidence to express ourselves in any way we please. Join me for lessons that will explore all these pleasures and new found freedom, building both a strong and healthy body and as well as a kind and attentive attitude towards ourselves. We also learn to improvise to the beautiful folk music of Egypt. These classes build new commitments to self expression, freedom and strength, both physically and mentally.
