About Joy
Joy is a freelance clarinettist and pianist from Wiltshire, who is passionate about performing and teaching music. She has over 7 years teaching experience, and teaches absolute beginners to very advanced level students. She currently owns her own private teaching practice, and works for a variety of music services all over London. Joy studied clarinet and second study piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, followed by a Masters in Performance at the Royal College of Music, where she graduated in 2016.
Joy is an approachable and enthusiastic teacher who supports her pupils in whatever they want to achieve from their lessons. She understands that everyone's needs are different and so therefore tailors each lesson and her teaching approach to suit her pupils. Some pupils enjoy having a goal such as a music exam or a performance to work towards. Others want to simply enjoy each lesson without any external pressure, and Joy is more than happy to teach either way!
Joy also has a passion for music performance; In September 2019 Joy returned to the UK after working in Bulgaria for 2.5 years as both co-principal and principal clarinettist of two State Opera companies as well as piano accompanist for opera rehearsals. Since June 2019 Joy has been on trial for the role of Sub-Principal Clarinet and Eb Clarinet with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, which is one of the reasons for her move back to the UK. She has performed with them a number of times already and has more concerts to follow throughout the rest of the year.

She can teach piano from beginner level to grade 6 and saxophone, flute and theory lessons from beginner level to grade 5.

Joy has a holistic and creative approach to the music lessons she delivers.
