I am a highly experienced and qualified music teacher, and have been teaching for nearly 6 years within schools, for nearly 10 as a private tutor. I have enjoyed teaching all ages and stages, and believe everyone is musical if they give it a try! Whether you've been playing for 5 days or 5 years, I am happy to help you strengthen your musicianship.
Using Kodaly and Orff methods, I can teach intonation and aural singing exercises to get you comfortably through ABRSM and Trinity music exams.

I have a Masters degree in musicology, and as such I am equipped to strengthen your music theory and history knowledge and understanding, as well as assist in preparation for Scottish Nat 4/5 exams, Higher and advanced Higher, as well as GCSE and A Level music exams.

As a cellist, I have performed in both orchestras and as part of a piano trio, playing in such venues as the Royal Albert Hall and Edinburgh's Usher Hall. I have over 15 years of performance experience, so I am happy and able to help you gain the confidence and performance skills you need - not only to pass exams, but to flourish in any performance or audition environment.

Please do contact me if you have any questions, requirements, or if you would like more information.
