Passionate Music Educator | GCSE, A Level, University Theory, Piano, Saxophone
I was awarded my undergraduate degree with honours from the University of Manchester, where I achieved a First Class. In my final year, I focused on performance, achieving high marks across all performance-based modules. Whilst completing my degree I also achieved my grade 8 in piano.
Understanding the mechanics of music and what makes the music we hear enjoyable and less so is what has driven me to explore music as a degree and the enjoyment I get from my playing has led me even further to study saxophone as a masters in both the UK and the US.
With over seven years of experience in music education from primary all the way to master's degree level, I have honed my skills and knowledge to provide you with top-notch guidance and support. I tailor my teaching methods to suit your unique needs, ensuring a seamless and effective learning experience.
During my time at Penn State School of Music I served as the Saxophone Graduate Teaching Assistant. I Constructed and taught a saxophone woodwind methods class to music education undergraduates. Taught 1:1 and group saxophone lessons, coached saxophone quartets and ensembles, and conducted the saxophone ensemble.
