- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I am interested in providing individual and group lessons to students of all ages and levels of experience, from beginners to advanced.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

In consultation with the student or their parent/caregiver, I teach in accordance with the ABRSM and Trinity syllabuses. As an equivalent to examinations, more advanced students are encouraged to set goals for their learning by preparing for auditions e.g. for college admittance, freelance work, orchestral positions etc.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

I think that the most important thing that a music teacher can do is to help a student realise their own approach to performing. Since music is such a personal thing, this is something that I love to talk about with each student!
