I have been involved in the music business for many years. At the age of eight I joined the Artane Boys Band, at 16 I discovered the guitar and began the next phase of my musical journey playing rock, pop and blues in various bands in Dublin. Looking for a further challenge I decided to study classical guitar in which I have earned both an Associated Board ABRSM diploma and a Licentiate diploma from Trinity College London. I taught guitar, banjo, mandolin and music technology at Waltons New School Of Music in Dublin from 2003 to 2017 and also gave lessons at several primary schools. A recent collaboration with Music Literacy Ireland has produced a very successful online workshop for music notation software MuseScore. I moved to Waterford in 2017 where I now teach privately.

I am a musician and educator who has been teaching music for well over 8 years. While I specialise in the guitar, I have also taught music theory, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo and ukulele all up to a high level, often working with students towards graded exams with ARBSM, Trinity and Rockschool. Personally, I have a bachelor’s degree in music and am currently studying towards a master’s in music at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In addition, I have also have Grade 8’s in the electric guitar and music theory (I am also now learning the flute but this is a much slower process). I also have classroom teaching experience and have taught music to every year group from Reception to Year 13 (including teaching music GCSE and A Level). This has given a huge amount of experience adapting to individual needs and learning styles and allowed to practise towards becoming the best teacher I can! As a performer, I specialise in jazz however I have worked as a session player for many years, performing a huge variety of styles from folk to metal and classical to hip-hop. In fact one of the reasons I love teaching is that I am constantly being exposed to new music and I thoroughly enjoy helping students learn to play the music they love to listen to.

I  have been a full-time music teacher for over 35 years now and this is my main focus so you can expect a competent, well prepared, structured lessons aimed at your needs and level. I am usually available 52 weeks of the year so you also get an uninterrupted schedule. Besides teaching the other part of my music career is songwriting and production which I also have a long track record of. Over 80 tracks are my SoundCloud but that’s about 20% of my output. So besides the technical niceties of guitar, I  have a good understanding of form structure and lyrics and also the recording process. I play a number of instruments including banjo, ukulele, bass, lap steel, mandolin, mandola, harmonica and keyboard. I have performed in a large number of local bands in the 90s in Coventry and Birmingham but this is historical and I am not active in the live music scene at the moment. I have also been a journalist for a street worm a local music journal. Music Qualifications & Achievements: Highest qualification MA uni Warwick
