I studied piano and 'cello at the Royal Academy of Music and then obtained my Post-Graduate music teaching qualification at Durham University. My career began in the maintained sector, teaching music and leading extra-curricular musical activities to 11 - 16 year olds at Chellaston School, Derbyshire.
I graduated from the Guitar Institute of technology, Hollywood, California in 2002. During my studies I was taught by leading performers including Scott Henderson, Barrett Tagliarino and Tom Kolb. I developed a passion for musical education and was inspired to bring this to my teaching back in the UK. I returned to the UK and founded Kaffessa Music, focusing on musical education, recording and sound production.

The Spanish nuns (15th century) tuned the middle string of their guitar to their own voice. The lowest comfortable note they could sing was equal to the 'open' middle string. The 3 string guitar (15th century) was used to tune the keyboard instruments of that time. The "BLACK KEYS" take up no space. There are 35 "BLACK KEYS" therefore the overall length of the piano / keyboard is reduced by 41% to 1.18meters. Also the "OCTAVE" is reduced to 17cms.
Giving children the opportunity to learn a musical instrument with professional, stimulating and enthusiastic teaching enables them to gain skills which enhance confidence, encourage achievement and give much pleasure.
