Principal Study & Creative Coaching

Eugene works primarily with serious and advanced practitioners: advanced musicians preparing for conservatory/professional pathways, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and working professionals seeking rhythm-section fluency, ensemble literacy, and contemporary musicianship.

All sessions are consultation-based and intended for serious, advanced learners rather than syllabus-driven tuition. They are highly individualised, grounded in practice-led research, and designed to support artistic, academic, and professional development.
