About
I started playing the trumpet at the age of 8 and spent most of my childhood playing for brass bands. In 2003, I moved to Bath to study for a music degree at Bath Spa University. Whilst at university, I performed with many different ensembles and also had the chance to develop my skills as a conductor. I now spend my time working as a freelance musician, conductor and brass tutor around the south-west. I am able to teach all brass instruments including trumpet, trombone and French horn in a variety of musical genres and use both ABRSM and Trinity College for pupils wishing to take exams.
