Additional information:
I have a longstanding interest in music and play the piano, saxophone and drums. I have performed in many exciting venues, including the Royal Albert Hall with the Somerset Youth Choir and on CBBC children’s BBC in a barbershop quartet. I have overseen the performances of my compositions, conducting and directing musicians and vocalists at university.
I love travelling and learning about other cultures and this motivated me to independently obtain teaching work in Germany over the last two summers.
I really enjoy working with young people and children, and have been consistently commended on my creative and interesting teaching approach.
