About
Building music schools, and helping teachers build theirs.
I co-founded Forte School of Music in 1994 with Paul Myatt. With a wonderful team of teachers and support staff, my school grew to more than 870 students a week, and Forte grew into a network of music schools around the world.
Paul and I also co-founded Piano Teaching Success, where we help piano teachers build Studios full of engaged students who love coming to lessons each week. Everything we teach comes from what we learnt building our own schools.
I've led the development of all five Forte courses, twelve years of curriculum, composing many of the pieces and running the team that built them. With Paul, I wrote the bestselling six-book easiLEARN Theory Fundamentals series, and I've written, compiled and designed five books for The Studio.
