Personal Description:

NOW TEACHING ONLINE!
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music from the Royal Northern College of Music, and a Master's degree in Music from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I have been playing the cello for 18 years, and over that time have amassed a large amount of experience in performing in different scenarios, such as in orchestras, in ensembles for concerts and function gigs, as well as solo performance. I have also been playing the piano for around 20 years, which has been an invaluable skill to use within teaching and to aid my studies.

Tutoring Experience:

I have several years teaching experience, privately, with music centres, and also with the Cardiff County and Vale of Glamorgan Music Service, as well as working as a tutor for one of the music service's youth orchestras. Over the course of the past year I have greatly developed my online teaching option, finding effective ways of transferring the lessons online safely, and keeping pupils engaged.

Tutoring Approach:

Listening to, and performing music, has always been an important part of my everyday life, and I try to show my students more about the world of cello and piano, and the joy it can bring. I believe in the importance of a strong technical emphasis in lessons with my pupils, but also try to encourage them to play things that they enjoy, and that I can play alongside them, to nurture their natural musical abilities. I believe that if students are committed to their study of the instrument they reap far better rewards, and so I try to challenge each pupil according to their individual progress, ensuring they are always pushing themselves further.
