Louise Davies's Profile

Background:

My name is Louise and I am a qualified music teacher (PGCE in Secondary Music), have a degree in Music Composition (2:1.), Grade 8 Piano, Grade 3 Flute and approximately Grade 6 Vocals. I am also an active musician. I began to learn the piano when I was 7 Years old, I also learnt flute at school and was part of the school wind band and orchestra, plus I have enjoyed singing from an early age. I have been teaching music since 2006. I teach piano, keyboards, vocals and have also taught curriculum music, plus fife and basic steel pans. I teach individuals, small groups and whole classes. Each year I organise performance opportunities for students to showcase their skills in front of the school or at a venues around the city. I am also happy to support students in taking exams if they wish. I have directed a school choir, where I organised numerous school concerts and accompanied vocalists on the piano. I have had experience of teaching Reception, KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 and Adults, plus I have supported GCSE/BTEC music students. Additionally, I have worked for Pauline Quirke Academy (PQA) in Warwick and Rugby, where I taught vocals to large groups of students, plus individuals. When I’m not teaching I enjoy playing and singing jazz and latin music, I can also play classical music. Additionally I attend music workshops and professional development courses relevant to my work. I play keyboards and sing lead and backing vocals for 2 bands. I love to play, teach music and share my knowledge and passion for an art form that can bring so much fulfillment in life.
