Music is my passion!
Motivation being the key, I encourage students with the aim of instilling a desire to learn, participate, create and enjoy lessons either in your home or online.
My music teaching experience spans many decades from kinder to adult levels, covering many styles, in a number of international settings; eg. European dance tunes, West African rhythms, to name a few.
I particularly find Irish traditional style most enjoyable but can easily adapt to suit the desires of my music students.
Lessons can be in a small group setting or private.
I am a trained and VIT registered teacher.
