About

About

Based in Macclesfield, I teach all forms of guitar and ukulele, for adults and young people from school year 4 and up.
I’ve been playing music since 1992‚ starting on the piano and trumpet, and moving on to guitars of all forms and the ukulele.
I love to inspire other people to play the music they (and I) love.
