About

Students who sign up for lessons with me can expect fun and vibrant lessons that are catered to the individual. My ethos is that everyone has the potential to be a successful musician regardless of background – it’s my job to find that hidden potential and to give my students the confidence to be amazing performers.

Your first lesson with me will involve an initial discussion to work out what you want to achieve from the lessons. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone who has been playing for a number of years and wants that extra bit of support and guidance, I will cater the sessions to you. Once we establish some clear goals, the lessons will involve a healthy mixture of technique, theory, but most of all playing some really fun music that will push and challenge you as a musician. If there is something specific you want to learn, let me know! If you have no clue where to begin, I’ve got plenty of great songs and exercises we can work through. Remember that these lessons are about your goals – it’s my job to help you achieve them.

For those wanting to make some serious progress, I’d recommend booking a block of lessons. We can then establish an overall goal for your learning journey, as well as smaller goals for each individual session.

In terms of my background, I am a Music educator with 10 years of classroom experience as well as 15 years of private Music tuition. I have been performing professionally since the age of 15 and have a vast range of experience performing with bands, orchestras, solo musicians, and much more. I am now pursuing my love for teaching others and sharing my passion for Music as a full-time teacher. For the past few years I have been working as a Head of Performing Arts where I oversee thousands of students as they progress in Music, Drama, and all extracurricular performance opportunities. Helping students grow confidence and discover a passion for performing is my specialty.

My qualifications include a Bachelor of Music degree, a Postgraduate Certificate of Education in Secondary Performing Arts, and a Masters of Arts in Education. For me, education isn’t simply a job – it’s a passion.

Please take a look at the services I offer, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and working with you to find that hidden potential!
