About Me

I’ve taught music on a freelance basis for many years. and have been based in Skipton since 2012. I run my classes from a compact but fully equipped studio in my home, and have a portfolio of around 60-70 students on my books at any one time. I aim to make music lessons all about the student, planning each session around what that individual wants to achieve.
