All about brass

 

 

I have been a specialist brass teacher since 2009 inspiring pupils from the age of 5 to 105 to become passionate about the world of brass music. 

​

My musical journey started in primary school when I was given a trombone to play for the first time and I have never looked back. Over the years I picked up a pair of drumsticks and turned my hand to playing the drums and then euphonium. I graduated from the London College of Music in 2014 under the tutorage of Dave Whitson and Pete Lacey.

​

As a performer I have played with many well known orchestras, brass bands and wind bands as well as multiple chamber ensembles. I also regularly enjoy playing for shows for local drama companies. I also conduct a number of ensembles including wind bands and brass bands. Under my baton I have led multiple brass bands to promotion  in the brass band area competitions.

 

I have also had concertos written for me as a performer and a published composer of Viajamos - 12 Modern Trombone Duets written with Mr P Stones 

​

I adapt my teaching style to suit the needs of the pupil whether it is building confidence to get that first note or rehearsing the finer points of the concerto for a recital or auditions for music college. Each lesson is tailored specifically to the individual, in the world of music there is not one size that fits all and I enjoy learning about and celebrating unique qualities of all my pupils individually.

​

There are so many wonderful experiences and memories to be made in the musical world and I encourage all of my pupils to make the most of them and most importantly have fun.
