Music Lessons
I teach piano, flute and recorder either via Zoom or in-person. I can focus on the style of music you prefer to learn and I don't mind whether we work towards music exams or just for the fun of playing. I aim to make my lessons fun and interesting while trying to push you and helping you to learn new techniques. I prefer to teach beginner to intermediate level students of any age, childrens and adults. I have a full-enhanced DBS check through GirlGuiding UK which I would be happy to share with you if required.
Ceilidhs and Barndances
I am a musician and caller in several ceilidh bands and I would be delighted to help you put together your perfect event! I can work with your requirements and your budget to organise a band and caller to suit your event and help you to plan out the evening. I have been playing ceilidhs since 2010 and calling since 2015. I prefer to call for English Ceilidhs but I am also happy to call Barndances and can include your favourite dances, including many of the well-known Scottish ceilidh dances. I call regularly for complete beginners, but have also called for more experienced dancers as well. All the bands I work with will bring PA equipment.
I can also help with risk assessments for ceilidhs if required.
Background Piano Music
I am a grade 8 level pianist and I would be delighted to provide background piano music for your event. Usually a range of classical and folk pieces that can merge into the background of your event.
I require you provide either:
- an in-tune upright or grand piano with music rest
OR
- a digital piano with excellent touch sensitivity and music rest
(For several reasons, I am unable to learn music off by heart so I will bring the sheet music I require, this is why a music rest is important).
