I began playing cello at the age of 6 and picked up the double bass 10 years later and I have been playing bass professionally for the last 5 years. I believe that enjoyment should come first. I think it’s really important that the needs of the student are fully catered for and that the love of their instrument and music should come before anything else. I have spent many years honing my teaching skills and I will always make sure that the aims of the student are taken into consideration when coming up with a plan for that pupil. I teach a wide range of styles and skills and I think it’s really important to keep music education fresh and current. Music is an ever-evolving medium and I think therefore the teaching of music needs to be kept up to date. I always aim to put a smile on my student’s face before the lesson is over!
