Sympathetic cello teacher with over 30 years' experience. Also an active performing musician. Adult learners/late starters a speciality.

Janna is a brilliant musician and great teacher. She is kind, intuitive, patient and inspiring. As a complete novice at 60 years , not even able to read music, she has taken me on a journey of learning and fun.

Janna is a truly inspiring musician. Her passion for music and her love of singing and playing her many instruments is palpable. Although clearly highly trained, Janna is able to communicate in a way that is totally accessible. She shares her knowledge rather than preaches and always leaves space for self expression and discovery. She is extremely versatile ... not only does she perform, but she composes, arranges and teaches, and does it all with a seemingly effortless natural ability. I highly recommend Janna ... you'll never regret meeting and working with her.

Janna is an amazing virtuoso musician on many instruments with a wide knowledge of different styles of music. She is an experienced Cello teacher, expert in working with children and adults. Lovely friendly and encouraging manner supported by structured learning tailored to your interests.

I have had lessons with Janna for the last 18 months and have found her to be a reliable and professional teacher. As an adult beginner I have found it helpful that she is adaptive to my learning style. She supports me where I need help and nurtures me to improve. She’s patient, helpful and encouraging. I would have no hesitation in recommending Janna

Janna is so understanding and patient - she genuinely loves teaching cello. As a mature student, I was worried initially that I had left it too late, but I need not have worried. With Janna’s encouragement I have joined a community orchestra and have loved every minute of playing the cello. She really understands how my brain works and takes time to explain things in ways I can understand. She challenges me with exercises and pieces in a fun way and enhances the learning process and my sense of achievement. Every single lesson is fun and fulfilling. I think she’s brilliant
