Experience

Whilst completing my degree at Roehampton Institute, in 1994, I became interested in music therapy alongside traditional methods of teaching. After qualifying in 1996, I began my career as a secondary school music teacher, working for 20 years in a wide variety of settings including time spent in special needs settings and working as a SENCO; as well as holding the position of music coordinator. For two of those years, I worked as a peripatetic teacher for Southend Music Service. Additionally, I taught both violin and piano, ran the local music school and led Southend’s steel band.
