About Me

My own musical journey has been truly diverse. Having played the piano since the age of 4, I achieved ABRSM Grade 8 for both the piano and viola while still at school. Over the years, I have won some awards for my classical playing (the Norma Dalziel Trophy), played in various orchestras and chamber ensembles on the viola, as well as being the pianist/keyboardist in various jazz bands and indie bands.

I went on to study Music Technology at the University fo Edinburgh in 2010. and graduated with a First Class Honours, Since then I have worked with organisations such as Skoogmusic and Drake Music Scotland to lead on a variety of community music projects - spreading the joy of music making to learners of all abilities.

I have now been a piano teacher for 14 years! I have had the pleasure to work with many children, young people and adults - with and without additional support needs. I have spent over a decade working in the youth sector as my day job; children's rights and youth participation are both very dear to my heart.
