Lessons are conducted in a friendly and informal manner but comprise a wide and thorough musical education. I strive to make learning music as interesting and stimulating as possible. My teaching style is adapted to each pupil’s ability and personality and I hope all my pupils enjoy their lessons. In my role as music tutor I encourage my pupils to choose music to play that they like, or if students are taking composition lessons with me, I encourage them to write music in styles that they like. Theory lessons are focussed around whatever syllabus the student is following. I give piano and flute lessons and instruction in theory and composition at my home (in the west end of Darlington) but I also offer theory and composition tuition by correspondence.
