I have over 12 years teaching experience of music within secondary schools and have taught KS2, KS3, GCSE, BTEC and A Level Music. As a head of department within a number of schools I have marked, assessed and moderated compositions, performances for Edexcel, AQA, OCR and WJEC at GCSE and A Level. I am happy to teach one-to-one in my home studio or via Skype if you prefer and lessons can last for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. I believe that exploring and developing awareness of the subject as a whole leads to a better understanding and musicality. I feel that it is important to develop listening skills and appreciation through improving musical awareness and appreciation. I currently teach composition techniques and skills, music history and exam preparation. I am a teacher and performer and work as a brass clinician. Music should be fun, intriguing and above all, exciting.
