Mrs who?
Since beginning Mrs B's Music Room in 2016, I have taught...
• children as young as 5 and adults as old as 80...
• at home, in primary and secondary schools, and SEND settings...
• both solo and small group lessons, choirs, ensembles and community projects.
Once a student begins lessons with me, I always notice their confidence develop, not just in their music skills, but in themselves in general. Music is an incredible way to better yourself, and it really does pay off! Several of my students have performed in their first concerts and musicals, passed with flying colours in graded exams, gotten into music academies and conservatoires, progressed on TV talent shows, and recorded and released music on streaming services.
I wouldn't be where I am now without supportive music teachers showing me the way to success, and I'm here to do the same for you. Whether you want to hit the big time, or you just want to learn a new hobby and impress your friends at karaoke night, you can't go wrong with music lessons.

Here are some of the things I'm proudest of with my teaching style.

I caught the music bug as a young child, joining my first school choir at the age of 8, and beginning keyboard lessons at 10. The bug stayed with me all through school and into university, and by the time I graduated and earned my QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), I'd performed in musicals, concerts, showcases and open mic nights.

As an autistic person myself, I understand how frustrating it can be to learn at a different pace to those around you, when all you need is someone to see that you just learn best in a different way.
It's important for me to make sure that all my pupils feel safe and comfortable in their lessons, knowing that there will always be a way of learning new concepts or topics that works for them. And feel free to use fidgets or comfort toys that ease your stimming!
Exams are and always will be optional. It's completely understandable that you may not want to do exams as they require a lot of preparation and they can be very stressful for those not used to performing. However, I always turn to exam repertoire lists for inspiration for a student's first study material, as they're always appropriately graded and thus serve as a great starting point for learning.
Keyboardists and singers will learn according to the Common Approach developed by Music Mark, a holistic framework designed to meet the needs of musicians of all ages and abilities.
Music lessons are a great way to spend time with friends or siblings, and can even be a fun parent-child activity. A lot of my younger pupils have enjoyed group sessions more than solo - some of them even find friendly competition in it!
Your lessons with me are exactly that - your lessons. They go however fast or slow you need them to. If you need more time to understand a particular topic or skill, then I'll make sure we give it more time.
There are also lots of different ways to learn things, so lessons with me will include a variety of activities aside from playing/singing, such as worksheets, using a computer or tablet, hands-on physical games, and of course, listening to music.
