Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
My main instrument is bassoon and I teach this from beginner to diploma level. I also teach flute and recorder and can incorporate theory tuition into any of my lessons when or if required. I am very happy to teach group lessons or split lessons of recorder / flute / clarinet for children - please contact me for more details. I can also start teaching recorder from a young age combined with theory lessons with a view to moving onto a different woodwind instrument at a later stage.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I studied at the RNCM in Manchester for five years gaining a BMus (hons) and a Postgraduate Diploma In Performance (Distinction). I have recently returned to Manchester after completing a further two years study at a music college in Italy - The Conservatorio Luciano Campiani. I have several other ABRSM practical certificates including grade 8 flute (distinction).

What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught privately throughout my time in Manchester having mostly adult students but have also taught (short term) at several local schools as part of the music service provision. Whilst at the "Conservatorio L. Campiani" in Italy I taught the junior school bassoon and recorder students and coached chamber music. I have also been a woodwind adjudicator at music competitions for children of various ages.

How much do you charge?
I charge £30 per hour for all lessons but am willing to teach shorter lesson lengths for young students. Please contact me about rates for group lessons. An introductory lesson discount will be offered.

Where do you teach?
I teach at the students homes which is why I charge £30 per hour as this is inclusive of my travel costs. I live in Central Manchester but I drive so most places are easily accessible (within reason).

When are you available?
I am available days, evenings and weekends. I will try to keep regular lesson times each week but this may depend on any rehearsals or concerts I may have - especially at weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach students of all ages and all abilities from complete beginners to advanced.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I prepare my students for ABRSM Grades.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I have a CRB but it has since expired because of living abroad. I will be applying for a new one now that I have returned to the UK.
