Which subject(s) do you teach?
I'm a trombone specialist but I can teach all brass instruments as well. I'm also a music workshop leader, and could work for organisations and/or individuals.

How much do you charge?
I charge £25 per hour and I don't charge travel costs if the place is within a reasonable cycling distance.
