Over the last 8 years or so, I have had the pleasure of passing on what I have learned about the guitar and the mandolin to children and adults, both privately, and through a variety of organisations.
​
As a student, I gained experience in group teaching through Glasgow Folk Music Workshop, and after building confidence in my teaching practice, I began taking on private students for one-to-one lessons.
Having worked as a guitar and mandolin tutor at various fèisean, including Fèis Phàislig, Fèis Arainn, and Fèis Dhùn Èideann, I devised courses and delivered tuition for Fèisean nan Gàidheal's Oide and Treòir projects.
​
Most recently, I joined the tutor team at Falkirk Traditional Music Project, teaching mandolin and leading the Junior Trad Band with John Somerville (Senior tutor, and founding member of Treacherous Orchestra.)
​
I have always found it very rewarding to help people realise their musical goals, or to witness the sense of accomplishment when they master a new technique or finish adding a new tune to their repertoire. If you would like to take the next step in your guitar or mandolin journey, please get in touch on the contact page to discuss availability.
