Information About Patricia - Edinburgh teacher

Personal Description:

I am a classical musician based in Edinburgh. Having started my musical studies at the age of 3 I have extensive experience of playing in all kinds of musical ensembles duos and trios all the way up to symphony orchestras, from very early music to contemporary (on the guitar and bassoon- but not at the same time!). I studied music at Napier University and continued my studies at Edinburgh University where I also gained a degree in Psychology. I have toured with orchestras and ensembles all over the world and have played in master classes with some amazing musicians including Alan Neave, John Mills, Amanda Cook, Helen Sanderson and Gary Ryan.
I love to continue to learn and I have a passion for helping children and adults learn and grow and to enjoy making music and make learning an instrument a rewarding part of their lives.
I am PVG checked.

Tutoring Experience:

I have experience teaching both adults and children, one to one and in a small group setting within secondary schools.

Tutoring Approach:

My emphasis is on enjoying music making and having fun whilst learning. I combine learning by ear and by reading music. Aural training and theory of music are included seamlessly into enjoyable lessons and students usually progress quickly.
