Musical Tuition

Sheila has many musical qualifications and she is also a fully qualified teacher. Read what Sheila's students say about her.

For Qualifications or Fun

Sheila is skilled at bringing her students up to grade level and many pupils have enjoyed remarkable success in ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) musical grade examinations. Sheila herself recently attained her 8th ABRSM Grade 8 qualification. You can read more about that on the About Sheila page.

During her career, Sheila has entered many hundreds of pupils for more than 400 ABRSM examinations. She is rightly proud of her student's pass rate of over 97%. However, this is not to say examinations are a requirement - far from it. Many of Sheila's pupils have no intention of taking the route to a musical qualification but play entirely for their own, and others' enjoyment; a desire Sheila heartily endorses.

A Practising Musician

Sheila was Principal Cellist with the Chandos Symphony Orchestra for 25 years and is now Concert Manager for the orchestra. She has played organ for services and concerts in many churches across the West Midlands and having been Assistant Organist at Pershore Abbey for eight years and subsequently Director of Music there, Sheila is an experienced Choir Master in both sacred and secular music.
