Asha's CV

am an experienced teacher in one-to-one, class and workshop contexts, catering to a wide age range.

I have a DBS certificate

I was twice semi-finalist in BBC Young Jazz Musician of the year (2016, 2018)

I’m a musician with strong and developing profiles as a jazz saxophonist and classical/ crossover composer and with wide ranging interests in music, language and culture.

I am currently a tenor saxophone chair holder in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.

I enjoy teaching and already have extensive teaching experience of one-to-one instrumental tuition on all my instruments including piano and with pupils from five upwards to adult. I’m also experienced in coaching in music and have developed a lively and engaging style in running ensembles

My passions include the role of music as a vehicle and inspiration for the community. I am the creator of Voices Beyond Divisions and Beyond Divisions Education Trust (see (concealed information) ) which encourages peace education and racial harmony among young people through music and the arts for which I was awarded one of the inaugural Diana Legacy Awards at St James’ Palace in May, 2017.
I am an experienced composer/ arranger, having written works for symphony orchestra, choir and a variety of chamber groups. I also write music for my cross-genre ensemble Kalpadruma combining my craft as a classical composer with improvisational skills as a Jazz musician.


I am a good communicator, with good fluency in French and Spanish and a proficient level of Turkish.
