About
Joanna discovered the joy of teaching quite by chance after having spent her early 20s producing two musically gifted children, James and Becky. She planned to make a career in classical singing after taking an external performers diploma. Fate had other ideas and she has been lucky enough to have been teaching woodwind and singing in and around Dorset for the past 35 years.
Over the years she has helped to nurture the love of music in hundreds of adults and children alike. She formed her own flute band - 'Magicflutes' over 25 years ago, followed 7 years later by 'Windbreaks', the wind band, and she formed our current weekly community concert band 'Soundwave Sinfonia' in 2015. We have been running 'Musical Chairs Summer School' since 2010. Thanks to my dedicated team last years 'Musical Chairs Summer School' was a greater success than we dared to hope for and we look forward to an even better summer school this year.
