I really enjoy teaching and coaching students of all ages and abilities, and think that learning a musical instrument should be an exciting, enjoyable experience, centred on the learner themselves.

As a clarinettist, I have many years of experience. I specialise in classical playing but also play Klezmer.

I studied music at Churchill College, Cambridge University, where I gained a 1st class BA in 2007 and studied clarinet with Joy Farrell. I gained a PGCE in Secondary Music teaching in 2008, also at the University of Cambridge.

I am also currently completing a certificate in counselling skills at City Lit. I work at ABRSM Publishing and am actively engaged in the world of music education.

Happy to travel anywhere within a few miles of the Gipsy Hill/West Dulwich area. Lessons can be half an hour or a whole hour, and I can do an introductory lesson at half the normal rate.
