I work with a wide range of instruments and voice providing specialist support to people with additional needs. My approach uses musical improvisation as a basis for teaching instrumental and vocal technique. My practice is entirely student-led, tailored to individual needs and musical preferences.  

I work to develop musicians with a wide range of additional requirements. I am a Musician in Residence in specialist Autism schools in Leicester and Leicestershire and work in secure educational settings on behalf of the SENAD Group. I have previously worked on behalf of Leicester-Shire Schools Music Service and within the penal system.

I design, deliver and evaluate music projects for people with additional needs. Working with traditional and accessible instruments, music technology and controllers, my work provides enriching, creative experiences to mixed ability groups of all ages. 

Projects can be designed with an educational or receational focus, using existing repertoire or student-led composition  I lead an accessible ensemble  performance project with young people in Ashmount School, Leicestershire and have previously worked for for Inspire Culture and The Able Orchestra.

My work creates a safe, supported space where participants can explore instruments, have creative autonomy and reflect  in a personal, meaningful way.
