Julia teaches children of all ages and adults, from beginner through to postgraduate level and is experienced in preparing her students for grade exams. As a Junior Fellow at Trinity College of Music she worked with undergraduates and postgraduates as performance anxiety mentor, and also with disabled students. She teaches mainly in the London area, though can also offer consultation lessons from a base in Oxfordshire, or in other areas by special arrangement. Julia is CRB checked.

She is oboe teacher at City of London School for Boys, where she has supervised oboe students from the Royal College of Music who are gaining experience of instrumental teaching as part of their course.

With a degree in Modern History & English from Oxford University, and an MA in Music from Birmingham Conservatoire, Julia is well placed to provide assistance with research skills, programme note writing and the written component of Diploma examinations. She is also able to adjudicate woodwind and chamber music competitions and conduct masterclasses.
