I currently study the flute with Lynda Coffin and Piccolo with Alan Baker. I have also participated in a number of masterclasses and consultation lessons with leading performers such as Anna Noakes, Paul Edmund-Davies, Helen Keen, Jonathan Snowden and Sue Thomas.
Do you have a personal message for students?: I enjoy watching students progress with their skills and enjoy themselves at the same time!
