Jo Eames

Jo is a qualified class teacher and flute specialist with twenty years of teaching experience.  She specialises in whole class ensemble tuition (WCET) in a variety of instruments at all ages, including Ukulele, Djembe, Recorder, Clarinet and Samba.  She often takes bookings for school workshops, such as African Drumming, Samba, song writing, composition and bespoke requests, e.g. topics like heroes and villains, specific countries/cultures, or a workshop linked to a text.
Jo is a workshop leader for Orchestras Inc., our accessible ensemble programme, working with young musicians with SEN(D).  She also teaches woodwind lessons for individuals and groups.

After graduation, Jo fulfilled her dream of being a classroom teacher and music co-ordinator at junior schools in Crawley, then joined West Sussex Music in 2016 after having her own children.  She enjoys the variety of teaching whole classes as well as workshops and ensembles. She works across the county to deliver projects across infant, junior, secondary and special schools.

Jo says: I believe passionately that music is fun and inclusive and I work hard to deliver lessons that demonstrate that, while ensuring that each child is making progress to the next step. I help young people develop their love of music through a wide range of activities, developing listening skills, improvising, composing, performing and technical skills on their instrument.
