My Experience as a Teacher

I am a freelance cellist based in Manchester. As a recent graduate of both Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester and the Royal College of Music in London, I am an experienced performer and have given solo recitals around the country. having recently made appearances with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and Victoria Hall in Hanley, and given numerous concerts as an orchestral player in Manchester, London and my home county of Norfolk.

My recent achievements include reaching the final of the Royal Northern College of Music’s Sir John Barbirolli Prize for Cello, my 2017 performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the Wymondham Symphony Orchestra and being featured in the Norfolk County Music Festival’s ‘Rising Stars’ concert.

More About My Lessons

Over the years I have worked with many different musicians and a variety of students, all of different ages and abilities. Through this, I can adapt my teaching to suit the preferred learning methods of each student for maximum progress and enjoyment.

I like to take a student focussed approach to my lessons. I will work with you to create a plan of lessons tailored to your individual goals and learning preferences, so we can tailor lessons to the way you learn best.

I pride myself on being a fun, relaxed but focussed teacher. I love to make my lessons engaging, fun and enjoyable while increasing technique and rapid progress in a short period of time.
