I have enjoyed lessons with many different people over the years and have enthusiasm for helping others progress in a comfortable environment. This gives the benefit of a depth of experience at the same time as a friendly and efficient approach to helping your learning.

I love music-making and sharing music, and have composed for voice, solos, instruments, choirs and bands.

Jazz, Folk, Classical, Dance, Musical Theatre, Rock and Pop are all enjoyed equally.

Martin was fantastically helpful, offering composition advice, support and guidance as part of A level Music preparation. He is so approachable and friendly, offering helpful and informed observations to guide the thinking. So glad we found Martin and I can highly recommend him to any student requiring a bit of guidance to support their understanding and help with the application of the principles of composition.
