Martin is a professional Guitarist and performer as well as a teacher in Secondary schools

'He currently works as a main support worker at a local college mentoring  young creative people and supporting them during music/ drama and dance classes. All of the pupils  mentored have special educational needs and various learning disabilities

I’m a singer and multi-instrumentalist playing the piano, ukulele, euphonium, recorder and basic guitar with 11 years of experience teaching singing, theory and accompanying children within schools and at home.

I am a patient and approachable person with a passion for music and a drive to encourage children’s enjoyment of music. 

I specialise in teaching harmony skills and leading vocal ensembles and have volunteered within a special educational school and have experience working with different abilities and behavioural needs which has helped me engage children creatively and share my passion for music. 

 I graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in 2018, with a First Class BA Hons degree in Acting. 

Since then, I have been a Workshop Leader, Theatre in Education performer (School’s tour of Macbeth, 2020, Young Shakespeare Company and a Christmas Elf with the Bookworm Players) and have continually worked with children in a school/nursery setting. I have worked with children aged 2-11 and enjoy encouraging children to engage and participate in group activities. 

I have been responsible for the safeguarding of children in a school setting and I’m paediatric first aid trained. Within school-based roles, I have been a 1:1 for children with Autism, and with children who display challenging behaviour, where I learnt the importance of clear communication and patience. I have worked across all years as a Learning Support Assistant and have been responsible for conducting group and individual interventions in Social Group Games, Sensory Play, Lego therapy, Gross and Fine Motor skills- alongside other ‘academic’ interventions.
