Welcome to
My name is Robyn & I'm a professional player and teacher based in Manchester offering high quality Clarinet lessons for ages 5+. My lessons are always built around the styles and genres that you enjoy playing in your spare time.
As an educator, I pride myself on getting genuine enjoyment from all the students I teach. I welcome students of any age, as I have experience teaching ages 4+ on a variety of instruments, and I have extensive experience working with students of all ages.
I get great enjoyment from teaching beginners but also thrive off mentoring post-grade 8 students to achieve a higher level of playing. I welcome learners of all ages in a wide range of styles.

I like to build my lessons around the learner & around the music that you enjoy and listen to in your spare time. I will create a lesson plan that is both enjoyable and suits your needs.
My lessons can be moulded around you and can go in any direction. I will ensure you have a good grounding of music theory but can also tutor you in a wide range of styles including Pop, Jazz & Classical.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I have experience in teaching students of all abilities. I'm open to teaching students of all ages & will tailor make a lesson plan that best suits your needs.
I'm experienced in teaching beginners.
Clarinetist, Saxophonist and Pianist recently relocated to Stockport having finished a year of teaching in Malaysia and performing in Singapore and New York. I have worked for music services for 6 years teaching instrumentally and this past year held the post of Musician in Residence at Marlborough College Malaysia.
As a performer, I have worked professionally on the West End and Broadway. I played Clarinet for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s promenade production of Julius Caesar and have worked under the baton of Marin Alsop, the only female conductor to have conducted The Last Night of The Proms.
As a pianist, I have accompanied the Tony Award-winning singer, Michael McElroy and the Broadway Boys whilst in New York and I also took part in workshops with the Broadway casts of The Lion King and Wicked. As a saxophonist, I have performed at famous Jazz clubs, BBkings and Swing46.
I teach a wide variety of genres
As an educator, I pride myself on getting genuine enjoyment from all the students I teach. I welcome students of any age, as I have experience teaching ages 4+ on a variety of instruments, and I have extensive experience working with SEND pupils, specifically tutoring young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I get great enjoyment from teaching beginner’s piano but also thrive off mentoring post-grade 8 students to achieve a higher level of playing.
I have entered students for ABRSM and Trinity College Exams, but for those that just want to try something new that is great also! During my undergraduate degree, I worked as a musical director around Yorkshire. Through this, I gained several skills I have applied to my teaching, especially in the recent online format. The creation of rehearsal tracks, fun exercises, and video tutorials to follow at home.
When directing pantomimes, I became very proficient with logic pro and in the creating of virtual ensemble videos using Final Cut Pro. These skills have aided my teaching massively, particularly for my pop students as I am able to record them so they can create their own album. Even during Covid-19, I can edit performances of my students together so they can still enjoy a version of ensemble performance.
