Music is my passion!
Motivation being the key, I encourage with the aim of instilling a desire to learn, participate, and create and enjoy the lessons either in my 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.
