I am a classically trained folk guitarist who teaches all levels of ability from beginner to expert. Whatever the levels, I am always extremely patient and supportive towards my pupils and always acknowledge that nobody is perfect - including myself.
I have experience teaching one to one and in multiple groups. This includes people - from all levels (beginner to expert) - who come from many different backgrounds, some of which have additional needs, which I always strive to consider.
I am a confident, reliable, self-motivated individual who is also highly considerate, creative and passionate about music.
Furthermore, I am so proud to be a fluent Welsh speaking graduate from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
I have outstanding communication skills and a major desire to continue performing and holding music workshops in order to teach and inspire others in life.
Recently my time was enthusiastically spent tutoring music to an adult group of mixed ability individuals from all walks of life. I relish and seek chances at every given opportunity to volunteer in order that I may help release creativity and confidence in others. I shall begin tutoring another group on a separate music project next week – this includes people who have Asperger Syndrome. In addition, I also intend to carry on raising public awareness on Asperger Syndrome through the media spectrum whilst raising money through various charity events. Recently I have appeared on ITV in doing this.

I can immediately notice inconsistencies and errors
