Musician and educator for over 18 years, privately, in college and in schools for both the private and public sector. Beginner to advanced musicians welcome we will formulate a clear path to progression with lots of varied repertoire and techniques to help you feel progress at every step. I teach both classical and jazz repertoire including improvisation, incorporating improvisation into every step to help develop aural skills. Originally I was taught in a band method with others and the benefits of playing in ensembles, although daunting, speeds progress and enjoyment. I conduct many adult ensembles or varying abilities and will always try and help you find a group to join and experience the excitement of playing with others. Music Qualifications & Achievements: As both an educator and performer, I have spent over 10 years working as a musical director for most of the major cruise lines. Toured the UK and Europe in production shows and jazz venues and continue to always push myself for the next performance.
