Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Accordion Keyboard

I grew up in the West Indies.  This explains my easy -going, "no problem" attitude. I have performed as a piano soloist  at various venues around the world ( churches,hotels, cruiseships, concert halls ) Despite having had classical piano training via Trinity College of Music and the Royal Schools of Music at an early age, I have always appreciated  music of every genre. So as a child I took the responsibility of learning to play other styles on my own. Read More

Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder

My approach to teaching is one that engages students and encourages them to learn to the best of their abilities.  I always consider the needs of my students and their wishes for their own musical development.  Therefore, selecting repertoire and lesson goals is a joint venture between my students and myself.   I gain encouragement when students voice their opinion and develop a sense of musical style that is unique to them; my students are motivated and learn to express themselves musically and together, we take great satisfaction in their successes at Festivals, competitions and examinations.
