When studying for my Masters I taught for the Trafford Music Service which involved individual, small group and whole class lessons.
Since then I have taught privately, with pupils achieving ABRSM distinctions, entrance into the Halle Youth Orchestra and successful applications to Chetham's School of Music.

- When are you available?
I am a freelance musician so can be flexible with days and times. With the nature of my work there may be weeks where I need to rearrange the day or time but will always make up lessons and am completely committed to my student's progress.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
Cello: I teach all ages and abilities from complete beginner up to professional level.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I am happy to prepare my students for any qualification. I am most experienced with teaching ABRSM but can be flexible to suit the student's needs.
Goals are important so I like to organise informal performances for my pupils to work towards if they wish to perform whatever they have been working on.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I would be happy to teach cello online via Skype to supplement lessons in person.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Go for it!
Apply yourself and be patient and you will succeed.
