Personal Description: I am a graduate of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I have been lucky enough to have lessons with three very renowned teachers - Dominic Seldis, previously principle double bass of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and now principle double bass of the Concertgebouw orchestra, Chris Wescott of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and Mary Condliffe of Welsh National Opera.

Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching private students since leaving college and have spent time tutoring the bass section of the North Powys Youth Orchestra. I am happy to teach people who want to work through exams, just want to play casually, preparing for auditions or even jazz players who want some classical bowing techniques to add a different dimension to their solos.

Tutoring Approach: I think that anyone should have the oppertunity to learn any instrument - regardless of musical background or experience. I try to find a way to relate to every student individually and see what works for them rather than sticking to the same plan for every student. During the first lesson we will spend some time discussing what you hope to get out of your lessons (exams, particular techniques etc) so that I can tailor the lessons to best help you achieve your goals.
