Teaching

How I’ll teach you

All my teaching is interactive - you learn when you do

Music teaching lends itself particulalry to “Multi-sensory” learning and I encourage this in my sessions

I love teaching those students in particular who are “frightened” of the subject, as the satisfaction I get on observing a student really enjoy succeeding is enormous, you will know how I feel when you are teaching yourselves!

Postgraduate teaching

 Leeds College of Music working with M.A performance studies students as a Creative Practitioner.
