Before we get stuck in with the ins and outs & how it all works. Let’s be clear about things I’ve been asked before. Since we’re in this for the long haul, It’s important we understand each other. You want the best, most comfortable journey, right? So let’s make sure we’re both in first class, rather than only getting half the menu in Economy.

Safety
Double security- without the extra cost of a security guard!
If you’re booking for you or your kids- I’ve got you covered. Our kids watch us and see the choices and decisions we make everyday, to help shape their lives ahead. You want to be able to sleep at night and know your kids are safe, and their wellbeing is taken care of. You want them to impress themselves with what they’re able to do, and want to discover more of what they’re capable of. You want to show your kids why giving up is not an option in life and why it’s important to show them how to be responsible and inspire confidence with the way they learn and discover.
You want to know you’re safe- I’ve got your back for well being.
I’m always on the lookout to make sure my own credentials are up to date. Safeguarding and Child Protection are so important. I have extra updates on top of annual training. This includes for the Prevent Duty. Both from education and music industry professionals. I also hold a current Enhanced DBS with barring certificate. You'll sleep well with added protection as standard. You'll love growth in confidence from shy & timid to blossom with resilience galore. You'll be proud you've provided the best for them. Together, you'll discover a ton of things for why it's vital to develop a musical mind as soon as possible. And how engagement with music now, will open the door to infinite possibilities ahead.
Added layer of protection
At the present time Google Meet sessions WILL NOT be recorded by either of us- even for practice purposes. At my discretion and agreement to contact you, we can talk about any interesting resources or links of interest outside of the usual less booking. Any Google Meet that is allocated for tuition will be the live agreed tuition only.
I will host all the Meet sessions.
