\"\"” I started music lessons on the recorder & violin at the age of 7 and when I went to secondary school I also took up the Oboe. After leaving school I studied music for 2 years at Napier Polytechnic (now Napier University) and then completed a music degree course, specialising in the final year in instrumental teaching, at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama (now know as the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland).<\/p>\n

After teaching in & around Glasgow and for West Dunbartonshire Council for 10 years my family and I moved to Lewis in 2004. Since then I have been involved in various music projects, I worked for 6 years as a support for learning assistant and then returned to instrumental music teaching in schools in 2018.\u00a0 As well as teaching I also work as project co-ordinator for the Education department’s Dileab project as well as Music Development Officer for the Comhairle’s Instrumental Music Service.\u00a0 I love my job as it is so wide & varied and no two days are the same. I enjoy working with our young people and helping to shape their musical education and experiences.”<\/p>\n
