I start playing Keyboard at age 14 and decided after
only a handful of lessons that I wanted to teach and pass on such a wonderful
gift. After four years studying my Keyboard, Piano & Music Theory Grades
& achieving a National Diploma in Popular Music, I started working at Fox’s
Music in Nottingham where I remained for 3 years learning all I could about the
world of Digital Pianos & Keyboards.
When I was 21, and had achieved all my Music Grades,
I finally got my first chance to teach, Fox’s Music had been bought out by
William’s Music who had then gone into liquidation. Roger Hagarty (Fox’s Music
& Williams Music Manager) decided to open his own music store called Roger’s
Music and invited me to open my own Teaching Studio on the premises. I jumped at
the chance and have never looked back.
But in March 2019 Sean Cumberland (Owner of Roger’s
Music since 2016) decided to cease trading. This caused me to make a big
decision regarding the Music School.
So, after months of preparation my NEW Teaching
Studio is now OPEN!
Here at the Studio I believe learning to play Piano
or Keyboard should be about enjoying yourself, whether you are 7 or 87 years
old! We do offer Examinations in Keyboard, Piano & Music Theory for any
students wishing to take exams or we have a Learning For Yourself Course. This
is all about learning for pure pleasure, the songs you love to listen
to.
If you would like to have a go at playing Piano or
Keyboard I offer a FREE TRIAL 30 minute lesson to all new students. I am based

Rutland County Museum is getting ready to celebrate five decades as one of the County’s favourite visitor attractions. The Museum, in Oakham, tells the story of Rutland’s history, archaeology and geology, and was officially opened by the Duchess of Gloucester on 12 May 1969. This followed ten years of passionate campaigning and fundraising by local charity Friends of Rutland County Museum to establish a dedicated heritage centre for Rutland.
To celebrate its 50-year anniversary, Rutland County Museum is holding a series of special events, displays and exhibitions – starting with a ‘Get Creative’ Family Day on Saturday 11 May and leading up to the unveiling of a newly aquired historical artefact, which will go on public display for the first time in October. October also marks the 60th anniversary of Friends of Rutland County Museum, who continue to support the Museum by raising funds for the purchase of new exhibits. The Friends intend to hold their own anniversary celebrations at the Museum in October. “Our members are all incredibly proud of the role that the Friends have played in helping to establish and support a county museum for Rutland. Having initially campaigned for ten years to have the Museum opened, it is hugely rewarding to reach such a significant milestone. Fifty years is a tremendous achievement and shows just how popular the Museum has become among visitors and all of us who live in Rutland.” Sir Laurence Howard KCVO OBE, President of Friends of Rutland County Museum
Rutland County Council are custodians of Rutland County Museum and maintain and run the building as one of their cultural services. “It’s fantastic that we’re celebrating 50 years of Rutland County Museum. The Museum isn’t just an historic building; it’s part of the local community and an important link to the past. We’re starting the anniversary celebrations with a ‘Get Creative’ Day because the Museum is a family attraction that’s enjoyed by visitors of all ages. It’s not just somewhere to learn, it’s also a place to have fun and we hope lots of you will come along to join in the celebrations.”
Rob Harbour, Deputy Director for Places at Rutland County Council Rutland County Museum’s 50th anniversary Family Day takes place on Saturday 11 May 2019 and will be supporting the national Get Creative Festival, with free arts and crafts activities for children aged four and older. As part of its 50-year celebrations, the Museum will also be using social media to count down a list of 50 historical artefacts that span the centuries. The countdown will highlight many of the hidden treasures which make up the Museum’s archive of more than 12,000 objects. Follow Rutland County Museum on Twitter and Facebook to find out more.
Rutland County Museum is one of the most popular free attractions in the East Midlands and welcomed more than 18,000 visitors last year. The Museum is open from 10am until 4pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Norfolk is a diverse county with fantastic coast and different landscapes, visitor attractions and things to do.There’s also plenty of events going on. With so much to do it’s hard to narrow down the long list of reasons to visit. Brilliant visitor attractions Norfolk has adventure playgrounds such as BeWILDerwood and Go Ape. You can meet animals at Banham Zoo, Wroxham Barns, Amazonia and Thrigby Hall and dinosaurs at Dino Adventure Park.
Discover more about the natural world at Pensthorpe and Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden. There’s Norman Castle Rising and Norwich Castle; stately homes such as Sandringham, Holkham, Blickling, Felbrigg and Houghton; and Norfolk has wonderful museums too. Seaside resorts for family fun Norfolk has amazing seaside resorts that offer flip-flop family fun! In Great Yarmouth there’s the Golden Mile and Pleasure Beach.Cromer has the last end-of-pier theatre show in Europe. Hunstanton has trips to see the seals and plenty to amuse
Great Yarmouth Great Yarmouth is famous as a family holiday destination, bursting with fun things to do, activities for all, shows and attractions stretching along the fabled Golden Mile and the huge expanse of pristine beach As well as being East Anglia’s premier beach resort, Great Yarmouth also has a fabulous maritime heritage and a port famous for once being the hub of the herring industry. Great Yarmouth’s Golden Mile is a paradise for people who enjoy seaside entertainment at its best. Indoor and outdoor entertainment venues line the promenade and there are rides and attractions for all ages along the seafront.
You can play adventure golf, ride on giant snails, enjoy freshly-cooked doughnuts, fish and chips or an ice cream, and then head off for a ride on a scream-inducing rollercoaster or take in a superb show or go racing. The Greater Yarmouth area contains wonderful countryside, charming villages, the scenic Breydon Water, and a quieter but no less appealing seaside resort in Gorleston-on-Sea and the vibrant village resort of Hemsby. Visitors have been coming to Great Yarmouth since the late 1700s and the resort is now one of the most popular in the UK for day trips, weekend breaks and longer holidays, offering all the character of a traditional seaside trip but with a very modern twist.
There are more than 15 miles of sandy beaches within the Greater Yarmouth area, all with gentle slopes that make bathing a delight, from the marram dunes of Winterton-on-Sea and Hemsby in the north to cliff-backed Hopton-on-Sea in the south.
Cromer Cromer is famous for the eponymous and world-famous Cromer Crab – a fresh brown crab which you can find in many establishments throughout the town, in salads, sandwiches, dressed or in their shells. The reason Cromer’s crabs are so tender and sweet is that they grow slowly on the chalk reef just off the coast (Yes, really! A reef!).
The town doesn’t have a harbour, so the fishing boats are hauled up on to the shingle by the cobblestoned Gangway. Nearby is the Henry Blogg Museum, named after the town’s most distinguished lifeboatman. Above the family-friendly beach, you can explore the town’s tight streets, the church of St Peter and St Paul with its wonderful stained glass and 160ft tower (the tallest in Norfolk), and the Cromer Museum where you can learn about the town’s fishing, trading and seaside history – or just simply enjoy the peaceful mini-parks and gardens. Oh yes, and the little subject of our amazing Deep History Coast, home to mammoths, hyaenas and lions! Broadland and the Broads
Norfolk is possibly most famous for the man-made Broads, a National Park with over 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways set in beautiful countryside and studded with charming and picturesque towns and villages. The big skies and sparkling landscape of marshland fields, feathery reeds and tangled woodlands are a perfect canvas for adventure and relaxation – time to reflect, space to explore, a magical opportunity to enjoy a fabulous break. This is the Venice of the East – in fact, the Norfolk Broads has more miles of waterway than the Italian city! It also has more waterways than Amsterdam!
The Broads National Park offers visitors an experience unlike any other, both on its rivers and lakes, and alongside them, on peaceful paths and cycle ways. Without a doubt, the best way to discover the Broads is by boat. So much of the Broads can’t be reached by road that days – and nights – afloat become a real adventure, with hidden places, perfect fishing spots and close encounters with wildlife at every turn.
The famous Broads motor cruisers have been holiday favourites since the 1930s, and today’s boats have all the comforts of home on board, so even if you prefer to visit during the quieter, cooler months, you’ll have a cosy base for your explorations. With fresh air, sparkling water and wide horizons by day, and wonderfully dark, starry nights, a boating holiday on the Broads is an unforgettable experience.
There are plenty of places along the meandering waterways for you to moor up and hop out to explore pretty villages and market towns, or to stop at a welcoming pub. Beaches – miles and miles of unspoilt sand Norfolk has 90 miles of unspoilt coast (93 when the tide’s out) with cliffs, marram grass-tufted dunes and tidal salt marshes. Most of all though, it has pristine beaches ideal for swimming, playing games and building sandcastles.
On the east coast, there’s Gorleston, Gt Yarmouth, Winterton, Sea Palling, Horsey and more. On the north Norfolk coast Cromer is great, Brancaster is huge and Holkham/Wells has been voted the best beach in Britain! Norfolk is possibly most famous for the man-made Broads, Britain’s Magical Waterland and National Park, over 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways set in beautiful countryside and with many charming and picturesque towns and villages – and even mentioned in David Bowie’s Life on Mars!
The big skies and sparkling landscape of marshland fields, feathery reeds and tangled woodlands are a perfect canvas for adventure and relaxation – time to reflect, space to explore, a magical opportunity to enjoy a fabulous break.
With a successful run in the West End, Motown the Musical has now hit the road with a year-long tour with the latest stop being The Theatre Royal in Nottingham,
Based on the book by Motown founder Berry Gordy, The musical takes us from Gordy’s childhood where he dreams of making a difference, through the foundation of Motown with an $800 loan into the finding and nurturing of the stars such as Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and The Temptations, and then onto the decline of the label as those same stars were snapped up by companies with bigger budgets, The Motown label produced more than 525 albums, and collectively its artists achieved more than 57 No 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 pop charts.
A scene from Motown The Musical, UK Tour
This is the next chapter in Motown’s incredible history and is an experience you’ll never forget. Featuring over 50 classic hits including My Girl, What’s Going On, Dancing in the Street, I Heard It Through The Grapevine and Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.
The production as a whole looked fantastic even reliving news and politics in which JFK and Martin Luther King was featured, this Detroit-based record label that emerged in the 1950s and made a succession of black solo artists and singing groups into global superstars.
A scene from Motown The Musical, UK Tour
A huge mention must be made to the crew and the cast of Motown the Musical which was superb, Edward Baruwa & Karis Anderson have so much on stage chemistry you could be forgiven for thinking they we’re the real Gordy and Diana, however Nathan Lewis (X Factor finalist in 2016) who plays Smokey Robinson was unforgettable, this cast had the audience singing and dancing throughout, actually they we’re still dancing on the way out of the theatre.
This is an absolute must see, there is no mountain high enough or river wide enough to keep you from seeing this wonderful production!!
The show runs at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal until Saturday 4th of May. Visit www.trch.co.uk for tickets.
Belvoir Castle has been revealed as a ‘Garden of the Year’ finalist, a public voted awards organised by Historic Houses Association designed to celebrate the best gardens in the UK.
Emma Rutland is the 11th Duchess of Rutland: “We’re delighted to be up for Historic Houses’ Garden of the Year. Spring is the perfect time to explore our tranquil gardens, with camellias, daffodils and magnolias in bloom and lots of walking trails available. With the public vote now open, we hope everyone who loves visiting our beautiful landscapes will support us.”
Ursula Cholmeley, Gardens Editor, Historic House magazine, says: “What makes the gardens of Historic Houses special is the people who live in them, and we want to see their ideas and passion coming through in the way the garden is evolving. Our great country houses are, rightly, protected from much significant physical change, so it’s often only in the garden that a new generation of inhabitants of these much-loved family homes can really make their mark, leaving their own legacy for future generations. These shortlisted gardens are all ones where we can see that personal imprint.” The gardens at Belvoir Castle were designed and landscaped by the fifth Duchess of Rutland, Elizabeth Howard, and regarded as one of the greatest gardens north of London in the 18th century. Over the years, the gardens have been lovingly cared for with several Duchesses leaving their own mark. The 11th Duchess is determined to continue redeveloping these beautiful gardens to restore them to their former glory.
This year marks the beginning of a £200,000 restoration of the Rose Garden, following the rediscovery of the original plans drawn up by the 19th century designer Harold Peto in the Castle archives.
These reveal that the Rose Garden is shaped like a boat, with the Chinese horse at the bow, and the circular seat at the stern. Visitors can explore the classical formal gardens, woodlands and views across the rural countryside from the castle’s hilltop position.
Capability Brown Tours have been launched as part of the 2019 season. Following a two-year restoration programme led by the 11th Duchess, which cleared over 500-acres of woodland and brought the lost plans of Capability Brown to life, visitors can explore the stunning vistas designed more than 250 years ago by the English landscape architect with a head set tour narrated by the Duchess from the new electric bus.
The Belvoir Flower and Garden Festival (13 & 14 July) also returns for its second year, a quintessential british day out with beautiful garden inspiration and ideas. Specialist plant growers, garden furniture, sculpture artists, show gardens, border displays, tools and crafts as well as Expert Horticulturists will be on hand to answer gardening questions. Admission to the Gardens only at Belvoir start from £12 for adults; £7 for children (4-16 years) and £34 for a family pass (two adults and up to three children). As a listed RHS Garden, Belvoir Castle opens its doors to RHS members in June for free of charge.
To vote for Belvoir Castle to be crowned Historic Houses’ Garden of the Year, visit: www.historichouses.org/goya2019.html. Alternatively, members of the public can cast their vote by making a post on Facebook that includes Historic Houses (@HistoricHousesUK), the words ‘My Vote’, the name of the garden they want to win, and the hashtag #HHgoya. Voting closes on 30 September and the winner will be revealed in November.
For more information about Belvoir Castle, visit: www.belvoircastle.com. With voting now open, the Leicestershire Estate is the only attraction to fly the flag for the East Midlands as it competes for the national title against seven other historic houses from all corners of the UK.

The building now houses the award-winning Harley Gallery – which this year celebrates 25 years of delivering engaging and intriguing exhibtions by leading artists – hosting contemporary exhibitions by leading visual artists, and the Portland Collection, showcasing the paintings, jewellery and other art collected by the Dukes over 400 years.

The Lake District National Park is thrilled to receive a generous donation of almost £5,000 for essential path restoration work on the popular Ullswater Way. With New Year’s resolutions still forefront of many people’s minds, this is a great route to do as one 20 mile walk or as a series of shorter walks over a few days or weeks.
This fantastic donation from the Lake District Foundation charity and Ullswater Steamers will fund surfacing and drainage projects between Pooley Bridge and Gowbarrow Fell to improve ground conditions. Lake District National Park rangers will carry out this work over the coming months. Dylan Jackman, Project Ranger said: “We have identified a number of sections of the Ullswater Way which are in need of improvement and are continually seeking funding for works to make the route an even greater success. The generous support of Ullswater Steamers and Lake District Foundation allows us to continue to improve areas, meaning that this special area remains accessible and enjoyable for visitors.”
The £5,000 donation is the result of visitors to the area and local residents digging deep and donating to the Lake District Foundation. The money has been raised mainly through visitor giving on Ullswater Steamers coupled with wider donations from the local community since Storm Desmond in 2015. The Lake District Foundation raises funds for projects that care for the spectacular landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage of the Lake District and Cumbria. Sarah Swindley, Chief Executive of the charity says: “We are delighted to be able to award funds to this fantastic local project. And we are so grateful to the generous visitors and residents who love the Lake District and have made a donation. We have some exciting plans to raise more funds for the path in the spring so watch this space.”
Rachel Bell, Marketing Manager for Ullswater Steamers echoed these sentiments. She commented: “We are pleased our visitor giving donations will contribute towards vital repairs and upkeep of the Ullswater Way footpaths. This will look after our landscape for future generations to enjoy.”
Monthly Market at Belvoir’s Engine Yard Calls Out for Artisan Food Producers and Makers
Organisers of the monthly Belvoir Makers’ Market held in the shadow of the ancestral home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland are searching for the best local artisan producers and makers as it looks to expand. Trading at Belvoir is not a new idea. The Duke of Rutland’s ancestors set up a market and a midsummer fair in the Middle Ages and now the location has been restored to its vendoring roots with the opening of the £3m artisan shopping village last year.
The Engine Yard will see the hustle and bustle of market day returning with the Belvoir Makers’ Market taking place on the third Sunday of every month throughout 2019. Launched last autumn with a handpicked selection of artisan food producers, the monthly market will embrace the best of local food and drink producers, artisans, handcrafters as well as street food vendors and entertainers.
With the Engine Yard already proving popular with the local community, walkers and cyclists since it opened in September last year, the monthly market looks set to grow the offer for visitors.
Organiser Sharon Astill said: “Our goal in developing the makers’ market is to again bring fresh produce and quality goods from neighbouring towns and cities back into the Vale area and provide local residents, as well as visitors to Belvoir Castle, the opportunity to buy directly from the makers and learn about the provenance of the food and support their local economy.”
Already on offer at the market taking place on Sunday 17 February are the award-winning Brockleby’s Pies; delicious handmade fudge from Fudge Glorious Fudge in flavours such as lemon meringue and cherry bakewell; all kinds of hand smoked products from Feast and the Furious including its signature 22 hour smoked brisket; a delicious range of vegan, sugar and gluten free raw sweets and treats from Guilt Free Pleasures and a fantastic range of jams and chutneys from Dotty About Jam.
A visit to the market is also an opportunity to explore the offer from the retailers housed in the carefully restored industrial workshops offering food and drink, homewares, clothing and gifts, as well as stopping off to refresh at the Fuel Tank, the popular cafe bar serving food made with locally sourced ingredients all day, every day.
The Engine Yard is open seven days a week, with free parking. For more information, go to www.engineyardbelvoir.com As well as the monthly market, traders are invited to get in touch if they are interested in being part of the Engine Yard’s Christmas Market taking place 6-8 December.

One of the UK’s Most Exciting Bands Join Impressive Women in Music Lineup
One of the UK’s most exciting bands and former Glastonbury performers, The Tuts will join an impressive lineup of female music industry professionals at the next Women in Music event.
Women in Music will take place on Wednesday 13 March at Nottingham’s brand new venue, Metronome. With gender imbalance in the music industry still very much an issue, the organisers, DHP Family, have invited the all-female-all-feminist, punk-pop trio; an award-winning UK festival founder and Music Venue Trust’s strategic director to join an open-panel conversation of hot topics.
Opening the evening will be Beverley Whitrick, Strategic Director at Music Venues Trust. The panel, ‘Fightback: Grassroots Promoter Initiative’, will explore opportunities for the next generation of young, female, independent promoters through a new partnership between Music Venue Trust and Music Planet Live. As well as information on why it started and how women can get involved, Beverley will chat with two local promoters who have taken part in the initiative – Kayla Bell and Louise McGovern.
The Tuts are a three-tone trio, of proud Caribbean, English and Indian/Pakistani origin, from London. Described by Louder Than War as ‘one of the UK’s most exciting bands’, they are avatars in the ongoing debate over inclusivity in the music scene and will be in conversation with Jackie P from Kemet FM. Meeting Kate Nash led to a tour support slot and EP collaboration in 2013, bringing them to the attention of Billy Bragg, who invited the band to play at Glastonbury in 2014.
The Tuts said: “Our existence is a political statement in itself. As a female band with members of colour we feel at times it’s a double battle in an industry dominated by the white cis man. For us, it’s about speaking up about what we believe and showing that you can still achieve success even when all odds are against you. We are change.”
With the gender gap in music festival lineups a highly discussed issue, the second panel will focus on and celebrate the leading women working behind the scenes at events. Cassie Fox, founder of Loud Women, Goc O’Callaghan, founder of Arctangent, and Joanna Leljevahl, Event Manager at Snowbox Festival, will discuss challenges they’ve faced, what the festival industry is like for women and how equality can be improved in this sector.
Women in Music is open to people of all genders and at all levels of their careers. There will be networking drinks post-event for attendees to meet each other, chat with organisers and panellists, and continue discussions.
Tickets are available from alttickets.com for the event starting at 6pm. Tickets are £5 or £3 for students or those on benefits or low income. All proceeds will once again be donated to Equation, a Nottinghamshire charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse and sexual violence.
