Bio
Background and experience:
I hold a BMus (Hons) in Music Performance from the RWCMD, where I received extensive training in solo, chamber and orchestral performance, alongside building skills in teaching, composition and orchestra management.
I am also delighted to be a 2024 Ambassador for the Benedetti Foundation, where I am building further skills in instrumental teaching and workshop leadership. I have experience working with people of all ages, including currently working part time in a nursery around my musical commitments.
As a performer, I have experience in various styles including classical, folk and pop genres, including performing with the “International Film Orchestra”, “Aderyn String Quartet”, local band “Noon Wolf” and as a soloist for private engagements.
Teaching Info
Dynamic and friendly teacher, offering in-person and online lessons.
I am a flexible and adaptable teacher who tailors lessons to meet each student’s unique goals and interests. I understand that everyone comes to their lessons with different goals and on a different path, which is why it is important to me to offer a free consultation lesson to get to know each other and explore goals for our initial lessons.
A fun and creative environment is central to my teaching philosophy and I strive to create a kind and welcoming environment in which you can grow and develop your musicianship. For younger students, I incorporate musical games and fun activities into our lessons, in order to keep interest and enjoyment throughout the lesson, whilst for adults my approach will suit your goals and interests. I also arrange and adapt music for individual students so that music is genuinely exciting and interesting to you.
Music is about more than the notes for me, and it is important to me that I help you explore, develop musical expression, and build your confidence, whilst growing in technique and musicianship. Whatever your focus, exams, performances or fun, my goal is to nurture a lifelong love of music.
