Advert description
I offer an inclusive and inspiring approach to music tuition - encouraging all potential musicians to realise and achieve their goals.
A typical lesson includes development of: tone, technique, stamina, expression, theory, aural & general musicianship.
My teaching style is suitable for all types of musicians, from casual to expert, beginner to advanced - if you want to learn a new instrument, rediscover an old passion, work towards graded exams, or just play for fun!
I have an 100% exam pass rate, and teach both ABRSM and Trinity Syllabi (which are internationally recognised qualifications).
My practical qualifications include: DipABRSM Clarinet Performance Diploma, Grade 8 Clarinet & Classical Saxophone (ABRSM), Grade 8 Piano & Jazz Saxophone (TCL), and Grade 6 Flute & Music Theory (ABRSM). Additional certifications include: DBS Check (available on the Update Service), CPD Certified 'Level 4 in Higher Learning Teaching Assistant' (with Higher Distinction), EduCare 'NSPCC Child Protection Awareness', and 'NHS First Aid Essentials Level 2'.
In 2016, I graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama with a BMus (Hons) Undergrauduate Degree in Music - specialising in Clarinet Performance. During my studies, I was taught by: John Cooper, Timothy Lines, Lenny Sayers & James Mainwaring. I also performed in masterclasses for Michael Collins and Andrew Marriner.
Early in my Conservatoire education, I discovered a natural aptitude for teaching, and soon became passionate about enhancing transferable skills - whilst also bridging the gap between Primary & Secondary School music education. I am also a keen advocate for inclusion and accessibility across all musical platforms, with particular focus on instrumental provision for children with additional needs.
