soundcoaching - music lessons with a difference

I love doing individual sessions as a form of music enquiry. I have a passion and excitement for exploring ways to develop peoples music and creative skills and exploring with people how to learn how to learn. Time seems to stands still in the sessions and something magical takes place which I find inspiring and humbling; I am inspired at how these sessions are a gateway for personal and spiritual development.

Whilst a student at University in the 80's I started Hatha yoga, Meditation and took part in an intensive series of personal development workshops as well taking Pedagogy as a specialist area in my music degree. Whilst at university I took part in an Inner Game of Music workshop with Barry Green. After that I was away, and would work with any student on any instrument, even those I could not play. We discovered amazing results and it developed into a way of training peoples attention and awareness. Laterally this has been greatly enhanced by study of Psycosynthesis, NLP, Spiritual Healing and Symbolic Metaphor.
