Personal Description:

I am a peripatetic music teacher who teaches in schools by day and private pupils on an evening or around my daytime hours to suit. I have a degree in music performance on Clarinet and Piano and later took up the flute and saxophone. I attend workshops whenever possible to improve my technique, develop skills within an ensemble and keep my knowledge up to date.

Tutoring Experience:

I have over 25 years teaching experience in schools and at home. I love my job and am enthusiastic in getting everyone to learn an instrument. Music is so important in supporting mental wellbeing in these current times, as well as being a rewarding hobby. I welcome serious learners and beginners alike; whether you wish to get into music college or are retired and wish to take up a new hobby.

Tutoring Approach:

Flexible. I like to encourage note reading from the beginning as it is an important skill but I am open to other approaches, like playing by ear. I am classically trained but enjoy teaching all kinds of music styles including jazz and popular song. It is important that my students enjoy their lessons but typically there will be a balance of challenging material as well as fun.
