I've lived in Birstall, Leicester, UK, for all but 4 years of my life and originally worked in engineering. Myself and my sisters were fortunate that our parents realised the advantage of being able to play a musical instrument, consequently all 3 of us had piano lessons. I started playing the piano aged 10 and completed my examinations when I was 21. I've been teaching successfully for over 25 years from home and within schools, inc working as a Yamaha Music School teacher. 

I also play the saxophone and play in The Leicester Big Band.
