Mountain Dulcimer Teacher (Reading, Berkshire and online)
- I hold group classes
- I teach one to one
- I teach face to face
- I teach via the internet
- I run an online course
I play and teach Mountain dulcimer with a focus on contemporary music, such as rock and pop with a focus on making songs work on the Mountain Dulcimer that you didn’t think could be played on the instrument.
I teach on a McSpadden dulcimer that has a 6.5 fret. Mountain dulcimer is a great instrument for many people, songwriters who want to add an extra string to their bow, singers, people for whom guitar is not possible due to issues with hands such as arthritis and people who just fall in love with the beautiful sound.
I have a long track record of music teaching, also having a DipLCM in Pianoforte teaching and popular music vocals Grade 8 and grade 6 guitar. I got my PGCert in music teaching (Merit) at the Guildhall school of music and drama in 2022.
To date I have 15 years (2023) of teaching experience. I teach in primary and secondary schools as well as private lessons.
I worked in the music industry and also perform my songs and covers both solo and with a band. Above all I enjoy teaching as it never gets boring and it’s great to motivate people and watch them become amazing musicians. I am always developing my CPD skills, at the moment (2023) I am doing a Kodaly musicianship course.
