In 2013, he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to undertake research in the United States examining pathways in jazz education from secondary school to professional performance.[1] His research included study in Chicago, Seattle, and New York.[2]
He later completed a PhD at the University of Queensland titled Jazz Up North Down Under: An inquiry into jazz performance, culture and identity through collaborative recitals in Queensland, Australia.[3]
