From early beginnings, Chris and Laura McGinity set up Finchley Music School, with just two music courses; Keyboard and Guitar. At that point the school was a Yamaha Music School, using music and other material supplied by Yamaha, with teacher training provided by them as well. It all sounded great! Sadly, the music courses that Yamaha provided turned out to be quite undeveloped, with a lack of material being the main issue, though not the only one.

When I'm not teaching, I tour and record with my own band, and with Kee Marcello, who was in Europe (Remember "The Final Countdown"?). I've played on the BBC with Beverley Knight, and on ITV.
