I am an experienced Professional Musician, Teacher and Performer, providing specialist lessons in North Lancashire. I studied with Professors Janet Craxton and Michael Dobson at the Royal Academy of Music, Michael Winfield (Royal College of Music) and as a post-graduate at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Richard Simpson.

I have sustained a distinguished musical career over many years with teaching practices in Hertfordshire and Essex, now relocated to Cumbria/Lancashire and recently for overseas students at The Ithaka School Knightsbridge, London. I have developed a systematic approach to the art and science of oboe playing and reed making, thereby building a proven track record for training students, children and mature students to successful outcomes.

My consultations will be informative and non-judgemental. Whether you are looking for advanced or beginner oboe lessons your lesson will be reassuring, inspiring, encouraging and fun.

With many successful pupils over many years, and as a visiting coach at the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, lessons are tailored to individual needs, focusing on techniques which empower the artist to interpret and express themselves with eloquence and sincerity. I worked as an orchestral and session musician in London over many years, now focused on teaching lovely music that brings joy and fulfilment to playing the Oboe, Cor and Oboe d'amore.
