I have taught numerous students in Brighton and Bristol on a part-time basis, and continue to teach in High Wycombe. These are mostly adults, many of whom are wanting to breathe life back into their playing again after a period of inactivity. Some have been beginners or false starters, and yet other pupils are budding actors finding their unique selling point.I have an excellent rapport with my students, as evidenced by the reviews on my First Tutors page (see link in Contact info).In Brighton I taught out of Under the Bridge Studios, where I also accompanied on piano for children’s Kodaly music classes.As a performer I occasionally play with classical bands in and around London, and have also performed as a soloist at weddings.
