About Me

At Sound Mind I coach, and train musicians, performing artists, and teachers in managing Music Performance Anxiety (MPA). 

I am a musician and teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching instrumental and vocal performance in both classroom and individual settings with children of all ages. I have worked as an A-level music, music technology and performing arts teacher, head of music and performing arts departments, primary school curricular music teacher, and ensemble/choir director and instrumental/vocal instructor. 

After experiencing firsthand how prolific and damaging music performance anxiety is, I made it my mission to be in a position where I can effectively help musicians and performing artists with the condition. This led me to complete an MSc in psychology at Derby University, where my master’s research project focused on music performance anxiety in children.
