When I was 4 years old, whilst on a shopping trip with my parents, I discovered an electric keyboard on display in a department store. Whilst my parents were looking at items on the next shelf, I entertained myself by pressing all the keys. It took all their efforts to drag me away, after which they surprised me for my birthday by giving me a keyboard. The rest, as they say, is history. I began taking Piano lessons at school when I was 5 and was introduced to the cello when I was 7. My love of Music has only gained in strength and I don’t ever remember a time when it wasn’t a huge part of my life. After getting my GCSE in Music I gained a place at Cricklade College in Andover on their Pre-professional Music course studying for A-levels in Practical Music, Theoretical Music and Psychology. This was a turning point for me as over the 2 year course I was immersed in a wide variety of Music training including performance, improvisation and sight singing. The first class tuition I received whilst there strengthened my love of Music and led me to study for my Bachelor of Music at the University of Surrey at Roehampton, London.
I am an experienced Music teacher based in south devon and offer tuition for children and adults in Cello, Piano, Music theory and GCSE Music. From beginner to advanced, for exams or just for fun, all ages and abilities are welcome.
