Clare Durrant & Bobby Bear

Hi I', Clare and this (in the picture) is Bobby Bear.

We've been running classes since 2006 in the Lowestoft area.

I trained with the great Hayley McBride.

My music training is from Salford University College where I did my degree in Popular Music and Sound Recording, taking voice as first instrument.  I play fiddle, keyboards and percussion,  I've been a performer, a music lecturer, private keyboard teacher, singing coach and a few other things besides.

Rhythm is a focus in my classes, and I use a bodhran for one song in nearly every class.  I love nature too, so most of my classes have plenty of seasonal material in them, much of it to do with being outside.

i love to see children's confidence develop over the time they come to my classes, and to witness their own individual triumphs and chievements.  It's a privilege to contribute to children's awareness and love of music.
