About

I teach music at Bishop Wordsworth’s Grammar School for Boys in Salisbury. As well as delivering the KS3 and GCSE Music Curriculum, I am Director of the school orchestra and assistant Director of the school choir.

I am a member of Salisbury Area Music Co-operative. I have seventeen years’ experience working in primary and secondary schools across Wiltshire, teaching clarinet, flute, saxophone and recorder in whole class, small group and individual settings. I have also directed ensembles in schools and as part of Salisbury Area Young Musicians.

I studied clarinet and piano at the Royal Northern College of Music, and then completed a PGCE in Secondary Music at The Open University.

I have a wide experience of playing professionally in orchestras, big bands, musical theatre and chamber groups.
