Music Psychology explores the deep and complex relationship between music, the human mind and the brain. Understanding more about how they interact may help reveal why music is so meaningful to us.

Understanding the psychology of music is a great passion of mine and my interests include, but not limited to, Drumming and Enhancing the working memory, Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity.
Studying Music, Cognition and Neuroscience is a lifelong ambition and to apply the knowledge gained into my teaching practices is something I believe all teachers of music should understand, even at a basic level, to get the best out of their students.

Ability

Personality

Motivation
