I am an experienced ex primary and Early Years teacher living in central Devon. I taught in primary schools in Devon, Bath and London for 26 years, including two years as solely a music lead working within a local MAT. This entailed leading choirs and school bands along with the regular curricular input. In the past two years I have left my school based role but now work as a music teacher inside and outside of schools. I also teach violin, guitar and occasionally accordion privately. I have studied on an MA in music therapy and often use these principles in my work, especially supporting those with SEND.
I now lead an Early Years music group for babies and young children in Exeter, teach violin 1:1 as a peripatetic, and also cover PPA in a local primary school where I lead WCET sessions in violin, ukelele, guitar, steel pans, whistle and other instruments. This involves also covering curricular music. Recently I also headed up a group of young folk musicians, helping them to arrange and play music together for a young person’s music festival.
I am looking for further work in any of the above areas, and will consider anything within reasonable driving distance of East Dartmoor, both in and outside of schools. I can provide references in advance if required!

I have been teaching Woodwind for just over 30 years. I am qualified with a BAHons Music, PGCE with Peripatetic specialism and a LTCL. I was employed working full time for Devon Music Service for 12 years when I first qualified. Thereafter, I have delivered tuition through Cornwall Music Service and Trust but have worked in a mainly self-employed setting with private arrangements within schools direct with parents. Also private tuition at home.
I currently work in the Okehampton area and towards Cornwall from there.
I have been teaching flute and recorders to children, teenagers, and adults for 30 years, from complete beginners through to grade 8. I hold Grade 8 Distinctions in both Flute and Recorder. I also have the ALCM Performers Diploma which I took on flute. I play locally in the Dartmouth Orchestra, the Wayward Winds ensemble, and for the Red Earth Orchestra, plus my local village Candlelit Carol Service Chamber Orchestra in Staverton once a year, and occasionally for the Dartmouth Choral Society Christmas Concert Orchestra. My primary training is in classical music, but I also enjoy playing whistle, flute and recorders in folk music settings.
I have taught flute for 20 years, my first job was the director of East Devon music centre flute choir, aged 17! Since then, I have taught in schools such as Walter Daw Primary school, Broadclyst primary school, St Peter’s High School and Okehampton Community college. I have run many school flute choirs. I founded and directed the community flute choir Exeter Flutes for 5 years. I currently teach flute and musicianship skills at Exeter School. I have done some coaching for the Devon wind and symphony orchestras. I am currently a performing artist for Live Music Now and am learning new skills in running projects and workshops with children with complex and additional needs, and more training ahead! I also play the piano, and use it to accompany in lessons. I enjoy teaching adults at all levels. I am an active freelance performer and still auditioning for things myself, so I have a vibrant and up-to-date pool of knowledge to draw from to help a student do whatever they want to achieve.
