I’ve been playing the melodica for 15 years, and I can honestly say that learning this unique instrument has changed my life. I’m excited to share with you all the knowledge I’ve learned, so you can become the musician you’ve always wanted to be. I’m lucky to have spent my life in music, working as a composer (credits include Top Gear and Apprentice), and music lecturer at Goldsmiths College, University of London
