A passion for music
I've been teaching music all of my adult life! From early beginnings teaching local schoolchildren whilst at Uni, to helping run ensembles at my local primary school, it's been my vocation in life to teach. I'm passionate about inspiring people of all ages to learn to play a musical instrument as it has so many benefits; from giving children confidence and a sense of pride in their achievements to developing the skills necessary to forge a career in music, to giving an older person a huge sense of achievement and purpose, becoming lifelong friends in the process.
