About Me

I hold a​ ​Degree​ ​in​ ​Education​ ​(music​ ​and​ ​English)​ ​and​ ​have about​ ​20 years​ ​experience​ ​teaching​ ​music​ ​and​ ​English​ ​in​ ​schools​ ​and​ ​in​ ​an​ ​independent capacity.​ ​
My experience​ ​includes​ ​teaching​ ​at​ ​University​ ​workshops​ ​for​ ​students requiring​ ​bridging​ ​prior​ ​to​ ​starting​ ​degrees.
The​ ​creative​ ​side​ ​of​ ​learning​ ​is​ ​something​ ​which​ I have a particular​ ​interest​ ​in and
I believe that great care must be taken​ ​care​ ​to​ ​give​ ​all​ ​children​ ​in​ ​all​ ​ages ​the​ ​opportunity to gain the highest level of English literacy as well as musical​ ​literacy.
Most​ ​fundamental​ ​to​ ​my​ ​philosophy​ ​however​ ​is​ ​the​ ​conviction​ ​that​ ​language is the most powerful tool that humanity possesses and that music​ ​is​ ​a​ ​vital part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cognitive​ ​and​ ​emotional​ ​development​ ​of​ ​children​ ​of​ ​all​ ​ages.
