The sound of excited children arriving and exiting with the doorbell every half hour, clapping and singing, solo and duet, keyboard beats and Bach violin concertos, blues and klezmer, songs for the chagim, families, individuals and group lessons coloured my childhood. Music has always been my way of life, my identity, escape and refuge, joy, confidence builder and challenge. After moving to Israel, having 4 amazing kids and experiencing single parenting I am combining my creative parenting with my love of music. Iโve worked with students of all ages guiding them through their first few years as budding musicians on piano and violin, played for Queen Elizabeth II when she visited Manchester 20 years ago, directed a music summer school and am working with my own kids (which is a challenge!). I love sharing my passion with others and am so grateful that I get to do this incredible job every single day. Iโve taken everything I have learned over the years and combined it into an approach that is friendly, fun and effective.
