My name is Scott, I teach Music, Media and Performing Arts at Brook View but I am also interested in Computers and Movies and run these in After School Clubs.  I have worked for over 20 years with Children and young adults, many of who require additional support for their learning needs.  My lessons provide our young people with a creative outlet through fun, interactive and inspiring projects which allows the Young People I work with to be inspired and build their confidence. 

I love to sing, play pianos and drums and I enjoy playing music with our learners and have even helped some pupils write their own songs.

I am committed to helping Young People at Brook View School learn many things about musical instruments and how to play them through singing and making videos and animations.  I also help Young People express themselves through music and performances such as shows and becoming a DJ.
