Welcome to my website, and thank you for taking the time to find out a little more about what I do. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email.

Piano and Clarinet tutor

Are you looking for a music teacher? A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music (London), I am a fully qualified tutor with many years experience of teaching piano, clarinet and music theory. I teach students of all ages and abilities, from beginner to advanced levels. I offer lessons to both children and adults, tailoring each individual's course according to their goals and style preference. More details (including rates) can be found on the Tutoring page.
However, please note that my schedule is currently very full and I am not taking on any new students this term. Some slots may become available next term, so please do let me know if you would like to add your name to my waiting list.

Accompanist

In search of a professional and reliable accompanist? I have many years experience of accompanying students (from beginner to degree level standard) for grade exams, recitals, competitions and auditions.

Perhaps you are looking for a musician to provide entertainment at a special function? With ten years experience of performing at and organising music for weddings and corporate events, I provide a professional and friendly service, to ensure your occasion is both unique and memorable.
