I organise 8 visiting instrumental & vocal tutors to teach 96 children per week study privately during the school day. I classroom teach music years 1-8 and I teach year 5 RS. I rehearse a school orchestra & 3 choirs, 1 of these choirs will sing at the Royal Albert Hall this December and compete in Choir Competitions in the Spring. The other older choir will sing at the 02 Arena and sing to their families at the Armourers Hall, London in May.
