- What kind of experience do you have?
I have previously worked for local music services - teaching oboe, recorder and early years music in schools and at local music centres. I have also taught a large number of private students over the years and I enter pupils for ABRSM exams when appropriate. I have qualified with the British Suzuki Institute as one of the first Suzuki recorder teachers in the UK and I have a great deal of teaching experience, having taught pupils between the ages of 0 and 60+ in both individual and group settings. I very much enjoy working with young people and I have led a number of music workshops in the community through organisations such as 'Live Music Now' and the Wigmore Hall 'Chamber Tots' scheme.
