I started learning the piano at primary school and oboe from 12, and went on from there to study Music at university. For many years I worked in the music industry, including in a West End theatre company before having children. I have since been part of the St. John’s team from 2018 in both administration and classroom roles. My own children went to St. John’s, and on Thursdays, I thoroughly enjoy assisting with the after school singing club Perolls Pop School.

I truly believe Music is one of the most important things we can introduce to our children. What other subject alone could help develop all of the following multiple skill sets?

• fine and gross motor skills
• memory, concentration and focus
• language processing and development
• creative problem solving and decoding
• maths (through rhythm- fractions, proportion, ratios)
• social skills, inclusion and teamwork
• self discipline and motivation
• risk taking, experimentation and resilience
• confidence and self esteem
• self expression

and most importantly, music relieves stress and is emotionally calming.

ALL the stuff we need in life from just one subject. 💪🎶

My qualifications:

• Kingston University BA Mus (Honours Degree) in Music (2:1)
• ABRSM Grade 8 Piano / ABRSM Grade 8 Oboe / ABRSM Grade 5 Theory
• Peripatetic Piano Tuition in three local Primary Schools
• Training in and understanding of Autism and ADHD
