Experience

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have taught all ages from 5 - 65, in groups and individual lessons, including complete beginners.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

yes

- Where and with whom did you train?

I have a varied history of study as i began playing classical music then progressed on to jazz. I studied at the college of SienaJazz in Siena, Italy under Klaus Lessman and Feruccio Spinetti, and at St Andrews' University with Richard Ingham and Richard Michael. I am also lucky enough to be tutored regularly by Martin Speake in London, and by various other world-class musicians in workshops, short courses, and masterclasses. A few years ago I received funding from the Scottish Arts Council to attend a course hosted by the music department of The New School, New York City where i was able to study with Billy Harper, Armen Donelian, Andy McKee and Rory Stuart. Tim Richards taught me jazz piano at Goldsmith's College, London.
