Musical Tuition

Naturally, Sheila has many musical credentials but also, full teaching qualifications. You can read what Sheila's students say about her and much more, here.

Music in Schools

Apart from giving private lessons in her own home, Sheila teaches for Worcester Youth Music in various schools in the Worcester, Pershore and Evesham areas. She also teaches in Private Schools including The King's School, Worcester.

Children attending these schools have the opportunity to benefit from expert one-to-one tuition in Cello, Double Bass, Piano and Theory of Music.  A list of the schools Sheila visits and the area she teaches in can be found here.

For Qualifications or Fun

Sheila is skilled at bringing her students up to grade level and many pupils have enjoyed remarkable success in ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) musical grade examinations. However, this is not to say examinations are a requirement - far from it. Many of Sheila's pupils have no intention of taking the route to a musical qualification but play entirely for their own, and others' enjoyment.

A Practising Musician

As a practising musician, Sheila is Principal Cellist with the Chandos Symphony Orchestra, she plays chamber music regularly with Midsummer Music at weddings and celebrations around Worcestershire and regularly plays organ for services in many churches in the county.  You can listen to some examples of Sheila's musical skills here.

More Information

If you are looking for musical tuition (at any age and any stage of learning from total beginner to Grade Eight) a chat with Sheila costs nothing and could be the best thing you've done.

Sheila can also introduce you to local groups with whom you can play, share your love of music and all the many social aspects of making music together.  With her long experience of music in Worcestershire, Sheila is a mine of information about local musical groups and orchestras.
