About Neil

I am a teacher, composer, conductor, viola player, educator and facilitator. I specialise in helping groups make new music, music that belongs to them. I am passionate about how music can make all our lives better and this passion is a hallmark of the work he does. I have delivered music projects, workshops and performances with Turner Sims, Philharmonia Orchestra, Winchester Chamber Music Festival, LSO, RPO, London Music Masters, Hatfield Chamber Music Festival, Spitalfields Music, Music for Youth, BBC SO, BBC Proms, Voces8, Wigmore Hall, St Paul's Sinfonia, music services and hubs across the country and many other arts organisations. I specialise in using music to unlock creativity, confidence, community and wellbeing. I help the groups I work with make the music they want to make, most often by facilitating the creation of new music. I help groups make their own new music. I am also an Associate Musician of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. I am passionate about music making in all settings and with all groups of people. I believe everybody is musical and that anyone can make music with anyone else. I am privileged to be able to facilitate this process; it is a source of unending inspiration and enjoyment. “Where words fail, music speaks.” – Hans Christian Andersen

About the lesson

I see Music as a way we can express ourselves and connect with others. One of my favourite quotes is by Hans Christian Andersen ‘When Words Fail, Music Speaks’. I really believe this to be true, it certainly is for me and I love helping others find this for themselves too. First Lesson: Your first lesson will be very low stress. One of the skills I’ve developed is being able to work with people where they are right now. I do not have an agenda Beyond wanting to help you figure out the next step forward. So it will be a chat, you will tell me what you want to get out of it. I will listen to you play, offer you a few suggestions and we will see where it goes. One thing is guaranteed and that is you will feel better afterwards. Second lesson and beyond: One thing is clear with music is that it is a skill. That’s really encouraging because it means it could be learnt and taught. However, the other side of that coin is that it needs to be practised. Your lessons with me will end with actionable practice and goals which are achievable. Some you will be able to achieve in the next days and weeks. Others will be more like weeks and months. But they will all work together to enable you to develop your musical skills to get where you would like to be.
