“I am very excited to be the owner of Forte School of Music in Marden. 

I had formal piano lessons as a child and despite my teachers best endeavours I still love playing the piano. When I discovered the Forte courses, I realised that they offered students all the benefits of traditional lessons along with the fun and excitement of making music with friends, learning by ear and by reading music as well as improvisation and composition.

Throughout my teaching career, I have seen the enjoyment learning music brings as well as the other educational benefits acquired. I really believe that a musical education is a vital component for making happier, more intelligent and confident children.
