As a freelance 'cello teacher I have many years of teaching experience from teaching in both the state and private sector. I have also work for Music Services, involving individual and group tuition, at junior and senior levels.  I try and use many of the pedagogical ideas of the ‘Kodaly System’, especially when teaching beginners, with its emphasis on singing,  musical games, rhythm and with the introduction of music-reading, fluency in the musical alphabet. Other areas of my work in education have always included close involvement in the production of lecture-recitals and demonstration workshops, mostly with the Astaria String Quartet, the Foundation for Music in Hospitals or in the past, Live Music Now! I have presented workshops and lecture-recitals for Arts Alive, Birmingham University, the City of Edinburgh Music School and the Education Department at Symphony Hall Birmingham, often to National Curriculum and National Lottery specifications. During the summer months, I have been a regular tutor on the 'Fantasia Music School' music course for many years. I have also researched authentic performance-practice and contemporary (classical) music, through both commissions and subsequent performances. This has led to intensive collaboration with eminent composers as well as time spent coaching student composers, giving me valuable insight into the creative process of compositions and the interpretive and technical difficulties for the performer. My own personal interest and inspiration has always been teaching, performing and coaching chamber music, specifically the genre of string quartets. As an experienced chamber musician, I have performed and coached the main works for string quartet, the chamber music for 'cello with flute, clarinet and piano as well as the solo repertoire for violoncello. I am also familiar with the orchestral repertoire, opera and theatre music, through extensive work as a freelance player. Please request my CV for my professional referees.

My zone of genius is processes – I can quickly improve, reconfigure and map them. And the second thing is ideas – I can generate ideas very quickly and put them into a plan (basically a process). I have over 20 years of experience working at leading companies and I built my first business to six figures in just two years whilst employed full time (Yeah – it was really hard!) During my career, I’ve learned how to systemize, improve and implement processes to ensure that large-scale and complex operations run like clockwork. I now help business owners streamline the running of their business. I show you how to improve the way your business is managed and organised. And in turn show you how to grow, improve profit and introduce new services and income streams. My Mission It is my mission to help as many businesses owners to become efficient, streamlined, productive, profitable, and importantly, happy business owners with my business consultancy. A good customer journey is essential to continued success and I show businesses how to allow customers to buy with ease, build trust and authority with, and by the end, build customers to become your raving fans. How I work I am hands-on and I don’t just give theories. I use a combination of strategy, mentoring, consultancy and coaching. Every company and person is unique, and the approach shouldn’t be the same, it’s adapted to suit the person, the mission, values, and goals of your individual business. I also have a team to help bring solutions to you. Virtual Assistants to help with admin, specialised marketing experts and tech developers to build bespoke business systems (CRMs/Workflow systems) for small to medium-sized businesses. My style My style is straightforward, jargon-free, and looks at the foundations and heart of you and your business. I’m passionate and want to help you grow and instil positive change. The relationship doesn’t end there. You become part of my tribe. I will cheerlead you and shout about you. I will be there for long term support and advice going forward – if you want that, of course! It’s all done with a big smile, positivity, kindness and a genuine interest in the people and businesses I work with. What I love Living on the doorstep of the beautiful Peak District is bliss, I love nothing more than getting out and exploring. I also love hitting my local gym for weight and Hit training (I still can’t do a full press up – but I’m working on it!) Most of all, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, family and friends especially when it involves good coffee, cake, and food.
