Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
Although I specialise in trumpet and cornet playing, I am able to teach all brass instruments, through my brass band background. I have experience in teaching different instruments and theory as I currently work as a peripatetic teacher for St Helens Music Service. I am able to teach any standard from beginner to advanced.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a BMus First Class Honours degree from the Royal Welsh College of Music, a Diploma in trumpet playing from the Associated Board of music and I am currently studying for a PGDip at the Royal Northern College of Music

What kind of experience do you have?
I have experience in all kinds of teaching. I regularly teach beginner players in primary and secondary schools, private one to one students, mature students and students working towards exams as well as brass band conducting and being a brass tutor on orchestral and brass band courses.

How much do you charge?
Lessons are £20 an hour; £10 per half hour. I am able to travel to teach, and expenses will be calculated on distance travelled.

Where do you teach?
I can teach in my home in the centre of Manchester or at a students house in surrounding areas. I can travel to Bolton, Huddersfield, Liverpool, Preston, Salford, Bury, Warrington, Rochdale and Stockport

When are you available?
I am very flexible and can change to the needs of a student. I teach in St Helens for two days a week (Thursday + Friday) so the surrounding areas will be better on those nights and would cut down on expenses.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
All ages and levels.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I have enhanced CRB clearance through my teaching work
