Geoff has over thirty years of teaching experience. A maker and

Describe your approach to teaching:
Teaching is on a one to one basis, catering for the individual
needs of my students. Group demonstrations are provided where
appropriate. In discussion with each student, an action plan with
agreed targets will be formed.
What inspires your own work?
My main inspiration to make musical instruments came from
meeting up with musicians in the North West of Ireland.
