About

I am a Classroom Music Practitioner and Choral Music Director with over 30 years experience running children’s and adult choirs. I hold a Certificate of Teaching from the Royal School of Music specialising in voice training and work with individuals and groups to improve their singing technique and vocal health.

I am a Grade 8 standard keyboard/piano  player who works with private students studying for exams or students who wish to learn new genres of music without the pressure of formal examinations.

I also have over 10 years experience running children’s music and drama workshops specialising in percussion activities, songs from around the world (particularly African call and response) and providing suitable music for dance dramas. I therefore have a wealth of resources to draw on to help schools who want to use music for a whole class or whole school project.

I have been Musical Director for school shows at primary and secondary level and can bring sound advice and vast expertise to any school that needs help with forthcoming school productions.

What I / we help young people achieve

Parents have commented on how their children have grown, not just as musicians, but as confident young adults. I never give up on my students and show empathy and a passion for my art.

I help run the Bath Junior Folk Band and would welcome the opportunity to work with schools who have an interest in providing folk music making opportunities for their students.
