Teaching
I have been teaching privately for many years. I can deliver lessons near my home in Haddington or I have some space for online lessons. I can also come to you if we can arrange it. I usually teach Thursday day times and Friday and Saturday mornings. Please get in touch if you are interested.
I have been brought in as a guest tutor to Broughton High School, Strathclyde University, Newcastle University, Edinburgh University, G.I.T in London, Perth College and many others.. I have been working at theRoyal Conservatoire of Scotlandsince 2006 and teach on the Jazz Degree and Masters course led by Tommy Smith. I also teach on the Trad music course.
I teach regularly with Laura Macdonald at the tolbooth in Stirling where we run jazz workshops on Monday evenings (from 5pm onwards). If you are between 11 and 18 they are free. There is a beginners and advanced group please contact the tolbooth for details or visit tolboothjazz.com.
