Hi everyone!
This last year has been a deciding time for me. I took some time to think a lot about which direction I wanted to move in, hence the lack of updates on here! Tried some different things and came to more of a place of clarity in my career.
Having come back from travels I did some classroom music teaching for a couple of terms while building up private afternoon/evening teaching in and around south London.
I decided classroom was not for me and focussed more on instrumental teaching as usual.
Currently teaching piano in a lovely prep school out in Farnham a day a week as well as private clarinet/piano teaching in the afternoon/evenings Monday-Thursday. In addition to this working on getting more teaching in a London based school.
The most exciting news is hatching finally in 2018... Have been thinking for a long while about doing some form of counselling course and so I've enrolled with a charity called Place2Be, completed their taster day last month and will start Level 2 in Children's Counselling on the 3rd February!
It is part time so I am lucky to have the time to dedicate to study while still doing all the teaching and songwriting alongside.
I am so excited to start this course and make a difference to young people in a different way... and get my study on again!
Promise to be better at keeping up with blogging in 2018.
With love,
Amy

'Notivate London' Launch!
I'm very excited to announce that I am working alongside Northampton company 'Notivate' to launch their Singer/Songwriter course into London!
A six week programme with a group of twelve young people, aiming to help them to express themselves, explore their feelings and perhaps try something for the first time. It offers children the chance to feel better about themselves and is about music, but is more about "me".
There are six fun, practical sessions, carefully designed to encourage children to realise their creative potential and expand their emotional awareness. Based on ten years' experience of working with over 3,000 children, the Motivate Programme helps to increase self-esteem, willingness to take creative risks and confidence to learn.
I'm looking forward to putting what I've learnt from delivering my own songwriting workshops into this acclaimed songwriting programme. The first 'Notivate London' Singer/Songwriter course will take place January 2016 in a school in Deptford, South East London.
Watch this space!
