I’ve been playing the piano since I was 7 years old. That’s a long time! And I’ve been thankful for the chance to learn every day since my parents gave me the opportunity back in the 1970s.

I love my job. It’s the greatest gift to be able to share the wonderful world of music, Everyone benefits from learning music – it is fun, improves concentration, boosts self-confidence, helps with maths, and it is a great form of self-expression. I love to see the understanding on their faces when my students progress. Some need extra attention with co-ordination and others don’t, they all get there in the end!
