A bit about
The Sounds of Learning
Hi! My name is Mike. After leaving classroom teaching with the birth of my second child, I created The Sounds of Learning to inspire people to connect with the music flowing through them.
With a degree in Ethnomusicology (the study of how music and culture interact), I have over two decades of experience teaching in multiple settings and with a range of ages. I have a particular interest in sharing passions and getting others excited about learning. With Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and an Enhanced DBS check (registered with the update service), I create a warm and welcoming environment where people of all ages can relax into their music. Also a certified yoga instructor, ski and snowboard instructor, world traveller, and experienced meditator, I draw on my wide range of experience to imbue my sessions with a sense of wonder and beauty.
Our approach
When we discover how to harmonise our inner music with the world around us, we step into greater confidence, clarity, and growth. Blending music, yoga, and mindfulness, I create bridges between life and music, helping you see how what we learn in music, we can apply to life, and vice verse. Nurturing confidence and community connection are essential to everything we do.
'Mike is an amazing teacher. He connects to the children and puts them at ease immediately. They are always excited to go, and are greatly inspired by him. We all feel blessed to know him.'

'My daughter and I love our Tuesday mornings with Mike. The sessions are consistently fun, active, varied and move with the seasons. She is clearly enjoying the sessions and learning musically. Thanks Mike.'
