I have been a part of the music industry for over 10 years.

I have played in numerous professional function bands. I have previously toured the UK and Europe with the bands playing all styles of music and covering thousands of songs, major festivals, recordings and world tours.
I am an accomplished songwriter and have written over a thousand songs in many different genres and styles. I have experience writing for various artist in the Music industry.

I started my music teaching career volunteering in a local music school, teaching in large groups and one on one lessons. I was then offered a music teachers post within the school, in this time I gained valuable experience teaching and working with students with various needs and ability levels.

The students that I taught ranged in musical and technical ability. I found it incredibly rewarding teaching a student who had previously never played an instrument, to seeing their progress week by week so they were able to play at a good level.

I was then offered a teaching position with a performing arts secondary school in South East London. In my time at the school I learnt how to keep the student engaged in their lessons. I wanted to make the lessons fun, enjoyable and educational all whist staying professional. I also gained valuable skills regarding lesson plans; making sure I was prepared for every lesson.
During the lessons I thought that the most important thing was to make sure the student and the student's learning is the key focus of the whole lesson. I have gained valuable experience teaching at key stage 3, GCSE level.
