Personal Description:

Currently an Additional Support Needs Teacher in Dundee, I have a wealth of knowledge, both musically speaking and in the education sector.

I hold a 2:1 (hons) degree in Music from Edinburgh Napier University and a PGDE Primary Education at Dundee University.

I am currently in my 3rd year of being a primary school / ASN Teacher and I love it!

I have lots of experience teaching kids, right the way through to adults and everything in between! Having worked in care the past 5 years, I have experience working with people who suffer from various disabilities such as autism and down syndrome.

I have played in many different ensembles and genres of music such as: The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland, The Universities of Scotland Symphony Orchestra, Perth Youth Orchestra, The Gordon Duncan Experience, Caledonian Winds, The Central Band of the Royal British Legion Scotland as well as a few others. Besides performing all over Scotland I have toured overseas, recently to Holland and last summer to Germany twice, one for a military tattoo and the other a beer marching festival. I have also taken part in music festivals such as Celtic Connections 14, the Aberdeen Music Festival and few years ago and the Trad Awards that has been broadcast on telly.

I love to play in ensembles and groups and also explore the music side a lot more. I have experience in mainly orchestral and wind ensemble playing but have also done things in the traditional music scene and I understand a lot about this and varies other styles. Other things include chamber music and teaching in primary schools.

Tutoring Experience:

I am a very friendly and encouraging person, and strive to provide for anyone who asks for help. I always try to help my pupils realise the best of their potential, but at their speed of progress. I have taught privately since 2015 brass, voice, piano and recorder. In 2019, I am starting my own music clubs to encourage more children to access music.

Tutoring Approach:

I would always start with scales and warm ups, as well and work through the Anton Horner exercise book. I have various pieces from the ABRSM grades for students to work towards. I would work at either 1 hour or 2 hour lessons depending on the situation, although personally two hour lessons are more desired as you would get a lot more time for pieces after spending the first part of the lesson warming up. I hope I could be someone that is approachable and trust-worthy and to make people want to learn the Horn and continue to progress into a great player.
