ABOUT ME
With over 30 years of musical experience and more than 10 years of teaching, I offer engaging piano, flute and music theory lessons for children of all abilities. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, using a holistic, simultaneous learning approach that develops technique, listening, creativity, theory and confidence together. I have experience teaching children with ADHD, autism and a wide range of learning styles and personalities, adapting every lesson to help each pupil feel supported, motivated and successful. My aim is simple: to inspire confident, curious musicians who develop a genuine, lifelong love of music.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Every child learns differently. I create supportive, enjoyable lessons that adapt to each child's strengths, interests and individual needs. By building confidence, encouraging curiosity and celebrating progress, I help pupils develop not only strong musical skills but also a lifelong love of music.
