My teaching background
​
​Throughout my career I’ve taught cello to children and adults on a one-to-one basis. I’ve run choirs and facilitated music workshops in schools and community settings, for community theatre and with people with learning difficulties.
​
I co-founded Visible Thinking – a company that delivered Youth Music-funded, multi-arts projects for 10 years – and was schools' facilitator on an EU-funded project, MIROR (SONY France), to investigate new music software for children.
