Starting out at the age of 7 Catherine learned classical guitar and the recorder. Music was a passion from a very young age and Catherine loved nothing better
than performing for whole school assemblies and taking part in local concerts held by her private music tutor. Realising from the age of 11 that she wanted to some day teach guitar for herself Catherine worked through the grades
Gaining merits and distinctions.
After full time education Catherine began a secretarial career lasting 5 years, only taking a break
from work to raise a family. During this break she decided to dust up old skills learnt on the guitar, and also
began learning piano.
Finding new direction and purpose with her music again began using free time to practice
endlessly and take her piano grades over several years, whilst bringing up her family.
Huge satisfaction was found whilst teaching her own children music, and the sense of pride and achievement seeing her
children excel at guitar
and piano to grade 5 spurred Catherine to volunteer at the local Junior School when the regular
guitar teacher left his post.
Over time, local interest grew with regard to private music lessons, and from that came interest with piano tuition.
Catherine successfully ran her music teaching studio for 7 years in Hampshire, teaching over 32 students privately.
Having recently relocated to the North East of England, Catherine is building up her business in the area.
Catherine's teaching ethos is to teach each student to their own individual needs. Helping each pupil reach his or her best potential
and passing on a love of music to each and every student.
