Welcome to White Dog Music, my name is Simon and I offer guitar, drum, bass guitar, vocal, keyboard lessons and contemporary band/choir sessions at the Gorse Ride school in Finchampstead the Charles Kingsley's School in Eversley and What Cleaning, Boundry rd - Woking. Music lessons are available in-school at CKS, after school at Gorse Ride and What Cleaning.

​

With schools now focusing on EBacc subjects, which excludes music and the arts, figures show that student engagement with music at both GCSE and A-Level is in decline throughout the school system. In some cases student engagement is down by thirty percent since 2023. 

​

My experience in music has given me many insights into the benefits of music which include;

​

• Enhanced cognitive skills.

• Increased academic performance. 

• The development of social skills.

• Emotional regulation.

• Increased confidence.

​

I am passionate about sharing my experience as a professional musician and educator and believe that it is important to continue passing on the skills that I have learned over the course of a twenty year music career. I teach students of all ages and beginners are always welcome.

 

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
