Advert description
As an enthusiastic and engaging 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.
