Outreach

Through his work as an organist, Ewan has been delighted to help children find the joy of singing, with all the associated benefits that singing provides.

In February 2024, Ewan held a 'Discover the Organ' event as his BMus final project. During the event participants helped construct a miniature organ, learnt to improvise on the church organ, and were introduced to choral music. The event was a great success and a detailed account is available to Royal College of Organists members here.

A similar event was subsequently held in Shirley, Solihull, and more are in the pipeline following his relocation to Hereford.

At Holy Trinity, Hereford, Ewan is always on the lookout for new choristers. If your child might like to give singing a try, please do get in touch.

Teaching music is something Ewan finds particularly rewarding. Before moving to study in Birmingham, he had already acheived a diploma in piano teaching (DipABRSM) and was engaged with a number of his own pupils; including preparing them for music exams and music school auditions. Whilst studying at RBC, he honed his teaching skills further, gaining high marks in his pedagogy modules.

Ewan is currently accepting new pupils for piano, organ, and music theory. To find out more, please use the contact details below.
