About me

I am a London based classically trained composer/orchestrator/arranger and tutor, with extensive experience in the industry and academic credentials.

Ι hold a Bachelor's Degree with Honours in Music Technology and Sound Engineering from the Ionian Technological Educational Institute in Greece. Ι also hold Degrees in Harmony, Counterpoint, Fugue, and Classical Piano from several conservatoires in Athens as well as the ALCM and FLCM Diplomas in Music/Piano Performance from the University of West London.

My composition portfolio includes music for the theatre, concert hall, TV and advertising.

I have been working for many years in tutoring music and I have experience in taking my students through ABRSM/Trinity and RCM exams in Piano Performance and Theory.
Since December 2015 I work as a composer and arranger for the Swiss Startup Tomplay.

That makes me familiar with most recent technologies in music education, giving children the opportunity to new approaches and most exciting experience in music learning, (such as interactive playing through tablets, playing with accompaniments, orchestras and many more new and interesting methods)

Acting as Head of Music in Modern Music School, have made me confident in using a wide range of pedagogies, and often practical accessible approaches, in order to impart music knowledge.
As founder of the band Crime Swing Investigation, I have produced and released the band’s debut album ‘Shot in the Dark’ in February 2015.
Additional skills:
Since December 2015, works as an arranger, copyist, proof reader and music engraver at a Swiss startup that reinvents sheet music, for an interactive immersive playing

Current composition projects include a collection of piano pieces for grades 1-8 according to ABRSM guidelines, piano sonatas,suites, string quartets and orchestration for bands, as well as music to be included in the band’s second album that is currently in development.

Since December 2016 also works Head of Music in Modern Music School International
