I am a community musician and performer based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. I specialise in working with families and children with care experience, SEND and Autism, using music to support speech and language as well as bonding and attachment. I run Treble Time, weekly music-making classes for babies to 5-year-olds and their grown-ups. I work in schools and with community projects, working with Young People and adults with SEND using movement, singing, percussion and performance techniques. I am a performer, working with other musicians, and I co-compere at Cambridge Folk Festival. I have devised and delivered training in Early Years Music Making, Inclusion and Autism and am currently studying for a Masters in Community Music Research, focusing on music as a tool for intervention in the early years.
