Working in collaboration with UHI!

What an honour it was when I was approached by UHI (University of the Highlands and Islands) in November to ask if I would work in collaboration with them to teach one of their students, Craig, who lives in Aberdeen and is studying the BA (Hons) Applied Music course.

This was an opportunity that I felt connected with since I was a student with UHI back in 2004 for 3 years. I moved away from Aberdeen at the age of 17 to move to Perth where I studied the BA Popular Music Performance course. I gained so much from my time with them and appreciate all the opportunities I was given whilst there!

🎓 I was also contacted by the UHI (University of the Highlands and Islands) with exciting new teaching opportunities

🎵 And to top it all off, I spent an amazing Friday morning on air, with the wonderful Claire & Pete at the Original 106 FM studio, followed by a great chat with Claire about dogs, cows and everything in between! 🐶🐮

I'm beyond grateful for the support, and I’m thrilled to announce that ‪Granite City Music Tuition has been busier than ever! With a growing waiting list, I'm now opening up Friday's for drum lessons 🥁
