From September 2016 I’ll be starting my first teaching piano/keyboard lessons at I-Play Music centre in Surrey.

2020 update: The WTW Big Band was renamed the CB Johnson Big Band in 2019 in honour of the late CB “Cool” Johnson who was the Music Director for many years and an integral member of the music community.
