23 years experience - All ages and stages of learner - Online lessons so you can learn from the comfort of your own home - Piano, Music Theory, Recorder, Clarinet, Saxophone -  First trial lesson free! I'm a highly experienced music teacher with 23 years teaching experience working with all ages and stages of learner. I teach piano, recorder, clarinet, saxophone and theory through my own self employed private teaching practice. I work at the pace and to the interests of the learner. If someone wants to go down the exam route then we can do that, or if they want to learn for fun that is also on offer. I have also helped people with short term musical goals, such as passing exams, or auditions with less than expected notice. I have experience working with those with additional support needs (ASN/SEND) too. I have an excellent pass and results rate with exams, and in particular with music theory exams. I know that every student is different and learns in different ways and at different paces, so you'll always get a bespoke and learner-centred approach if you have lessons with me. I also have expert knowledge in alternative notation systems (such as Figurenotes) that are ideal for those with learning needs or dyslexia. I also often teach with the help and assistance of my 21 year old cat, Tess! 🐾 I am based in Penicuik and can teach in person, though I prefer to teach online due to being immunocompromised. I am happy to do occasional lessons in earn however, especially around exam time. Teaching online works around people's lives, work schedules, childcare with siblings, and allowing pupils to learn from the comfort of their own home. I offer a trial lesson for free! In my music career I am a Senior manager for a National music education organisation in Scotland for disabled people, and I also sit on UK and International Boards advocating for music education. I wrote and published a recorder tutor book, Recorder Roundabout in 2008 which is a great fast track learning resource aimed to get children (or any age!) to grade 3 level in less than a year! I am also a member of the professional body, the Independent Society of Musicians. I obtained my BMus Honours Degree from University of Edinburgh in 2005. I am passionate about everyone having equal and equitable access to music! Over the years I've taught many students from beginner to university level, and have had students go on to study music at universities and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. If you are interested in exams, I am happy to go down the routes of both ABRSM and Trinity.
