Support for Music and Performing Arts
I offer schools a rich range of coaching and other support that includes:
- Mentoring/advice/action planning for struggling departments
- Departmental Reviews help for even the most successful departments become better still
- Advice when recruiting/appointing new members of staff
- Writing schemes of work and assessment materials (all key stages/examination boards)
- Producing resources (all key stages/examination boards)
- Original compositions and arrangements specially tailored to your students' strengths and your school's resources
I have delivered many GCSE and A-level masterclasses and offer them in:
I am able to deliver classes for all boards and produce bespoke resources that you are likely to find invaluable for your own teaching in the future
- composition (both original compositions and 'technical' A-level compositions such as 'Bach' chorale harmonization)
- performance
- the listening/written examination
I am able to deliver classes for all boards and produce bespoke resources that you are likely to find invaluable for your own teaching in the future
- I give training to music teachers on a range of areas such as how to the set works/listening pieces, how teach composition and how to lead an outstanding music department
- Many of these can be delivered in a different form to your students, such as revision classes on the listening examination

My experience...
I began my teaching career in higher education, teaching at Cardiff University and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (in the Junior Department as well as in the main college). I also tutored on Open University Summer Schools over many years. Having completed a PGCE at the IoE, I taught music (KS3, GCSE and A-level) in London schools for 20 years, including when I was a headteacher. As Head of Music I rapidly transformed the music departments in two schools and was in charge of a large and highly successful performing arts faculty.
I continue to be a practising teacher, working for Junior Trinity where I mainly teach A-level (but have also taught GCSE).
I am an ABRSM examiner, a diploma examiner for the Guild of Church Musicians, and a trainer for Keynote Educational.
