I am an experienced musician and teach recorder and piano from my home in Wilmslow to pupils of all ages

As an enthusiastic and engaging piano and recorder teacher, I am passionate about the importance of learning a musical instrument, and developing all round musicianship, to enhance enjoyment and appreciation of life. I provide a supportive and enjoyable learning environment, enabling each student to achieve their full potential and to develop a love for their instrument and for music.

My teaching encompasses:

Recorder - beginner to advanced
Piano - beginner to Grade 5
Theory of Music - to Grade 6
Developing aural skills and musicianship at all levels

I have a real interest in nurturing and shaping the young musicians of the future but I am also very keen to support adults who are looking to take up, or return to, an instrument. I have a particular expertise in playing and teaching the recorder; a versatile and rewarding instrument for both beginners and advanced musicians, for which it is now increasingly difficult to find specialist teachers.

I focus in my teaching on building excellent technique whilst also developing expression and musical creativity. I take a holistic approach to teaching, focussing on the importance of posture and being at ease whilst playing. I use singing, improvisation and rhythmic games as part of my warm-ups and prioritise ensuring students feel happy and confident in their lessons.

Whether it is your dream to become the next Young Musician of the Year, or to be able to play confidently to your friends and family, I look forward to working with you on your unique musical journey.
