Tutoring Experience:

SUMMER term 2024
Some spaces available. Adults daytime. School age only a few slots remaining

All students taught from school age 10 to adults, carefully catered for, from the beginner through to an advanced level Gd 8+ with a 99% success rate in the ABRSM or Trinity grades, only if students want to take exams, there is no pressure. Over 25 years experience and success as an accomplished musician and tutor of Clarinet and Saxophone, and Recorders.

The recorder is a proper wind instrument and the family of recorders range from sopranino to bass. Most students begin on soprano or descent and graduate onto the alto or treble recorder. ABRSM and Trinity exam boards recognise the recorder as as a wind instrument and students can take music grades
I have taught within Schools and Colleges in Mid Wales, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire-but now continue with my private tuition practice for students of all ages at my home in my own music room

Tutoring Approach:

I believe learning an instrument should be fun. I am aware each student has their own strengths and weaknesses I encourage and motivate to achieve individual goals. I like to teach using and playing a mix of musical genres.
I believe it is never too late to take up an instrument and encourage adult learners. I also believe as a teacher l
need to motivate a younger generation of musicians.
