I am a firm believer that learning an instrument should be a positive and enjoyable experience.  I have experience teaching pupils with various additional needs, and am happy to adapt lessons to accommodate any special requirements.

I started learning the Tenor Horn age 10 and played in a local brass band.  At age 15 I swapped onto the French Horn and progressed to studying at the Royal College of Music for 4 years on the professional Performers Course.  At the RCM I also gained the Teaching Diploma, with Honours.

Following my studies, I worked as a professional French Horn player playing throughout the UK and also in London's West End.  I have always enjoyed teaching, and when I settled in Oxfordshire I started teaching full time.  

I am based roughly halfway between Wantage and Didcot in South Oxfordshire, where I live with my husband, 2 children and 2 dogs.
