Welcome to my website! I am a Staffordshire based independent musician and teacher. Following periods of study and work in Canada and the United States, I'm pleased to be back in the county where I grew up, teaching and making music. I offer private and group lessons in woodwinds (except flute) and piano in central Staffordshire (Stafford, Lichfield and Uttoxeter) as well as online woodwind lessons as far afield as British Columbia, Canada. I teach students of all ages, specialising in adults and welcome serious and casual students alike, including beginners.

I have 30 years of professional experience including:

• Teaching private and group lessons for students aged 5+
• Training and entering students for festivals and external examinations such as ABRSM (UK) and RCM (Canada)
• Experience with adult beginners and those returning to an instrument after years away from it.
• Teaching music theory
• Coaching chamber ensembles
• Conducting larger ensembles (choir, orchestra, recorder orchestra, concert band etc.)
• Performing - oboe/cor anglais in ensembles and as a soloist as well as general reeds, cello and bass.

Thank you for visiting and if you have any questions regarding lessons or anything else about my site, please don't hesitate to contact me!
