About

About

Enjoyment and performance is my main focus as a tutor having trained in Musical Theatre at the London Studio Centre, University of the Arts London.

I have been privileged to have worked as a performer with Disney Cruise Line; Royal Caribbean Cruise Line; a number of UK national tours and international tours; the London Philharmonic Choir and BBC Proms. For the last five years since covid, I’ve loved putting my knowledge into teaching students of all ages in London and have recently moved to West Berkshire for a quieter life.

Alongside my teaching, I worked as a music editor for Faber Music Publishing, editing works such as the official Harry Potter Piano Anthology and educational books by composers including Paul Harris, Pam Wedgewood and Elaine Gould. I then became Head of Education at the national theatre school, “Perform”.

I look forward to transferring back to teaching full time and focusing on those local to my new area in West Berkshire and Reading as I raise my own family. See you soon.

30 minute lesson

Best for complete beginners, children under 10 and those seeking theory or audition related guidance. The lessons focus on learning practical material meaning any warm-ups would be done in the students own time prior to the lesson. More technical exercises & scales would be given for practise after the lesson.

 

45 minute lesson

Most suitable for students taking graded examinations or wanting added guidance for intermediate/advanced level material. Lessons will incorporate a 15 minute focus split between warm up technique, aural exercises, relevant theory and safe practise.

 

60 minute lesson

These are designed for students wanting a full technical warm up and are working through/learning intermediate to advanced pieces. The lessons are also for developing aural and physical technique to audition for vocational colleges or to take Grade 5+ examinations. They allow time for additional theory aid or for more beginner students wanting to learn both piano and vocals.

Things to Check Before Choosing

  • Teaching Fees: Compare the fees with other teachers in the area. Ensure the fees are transparent and reasonable. Check if there are any additional costs (e.g., materials, exam fees).
  • Qualifications: Verify the teacher’s qualifications and experience. Check if they have relevant music degrees, certifications, or professional experience in music education.
  • Professionalism: Consider whether a teacher holds a recent safeguarding certificate, public/general liability insurance and is a member of a professional music organizations or associations. These are important for ensuring a safe and professional learning environment.
  • Reliability: Look for reviews or testimonials from current or past students. Consistent positive feedback can indicate a reliable teacher.
  • Teaching Style: Consider if their teaching style aligns with your learning preferences. Some teachers offer trial lessons which can be a good opportunity to assess compatibility.
  • Specialisations: Check if the teacher specializes in the instrument or musical genre you are interested in. Specialised teachers can offer more in-depth knowledge and techniques.
  • Location and Availability: Ensure the teacher’s location and schedule fit your needs. Consider the convenience of travel and the flexibility of lesson timings.
  • Communication: Assess the teacher’s communication skills. Clear and open communication is essential for effective learning and addressing any concerns promptly.
