Learn how to play your favourite instrument with a passionate, experienced teacher

Whether you are a child or an adult and you want to learn how to play a musical instrument, Joy Ross is just the person you need.

You will not only learn how to play, but also learn all the theoretical components to pass exams, both local and international, if you want to.

She has been teaching adults and children for nearly three decades and is still as passionate about it since the day she started.

This passion has rubbed off onto her own children, who also actively involved in performing and teaching.

Her credentials include lecturing at colleges, teaching at schools, performing, winning numerous Eisteddfod gold medals and running classes from her home.

She uses a practical approach to learning the instrument so that you get a feel for the instrument before going on to the theory.

Theory is not neglected at all as can be seen by the fact that she successfully gets students through the international Trinity College Exams year after year.

Joy always had a love for music. She says that she started at the age of seven, but one may debate this and say that she started out of the cradle, having a very musical mother.

She also had a very strict teacher, which made her as good as she is today, but also resulted in may students dropping out. This explains her approach today, which rather allows the student to develop their musical talent and not the teacher beating it into them!

She is firm but nurturing, which explains why the children love her. She is practical, but does not neglect theory, which can be seen by the number of her students that have passed exams over the years.

This has made her into the sought after teacher that she is today.

Her love for music was such that even though her school did not have music as a subject, she did it as an extra subject and managed to graduate high school with music as one of her subjects.

This allowed her to study her Teacher’s Licentiate Diploma in Music at UCT and obtain her Higher Diploma in Education.

She is still active in music circles today; in choirs, accompanying soloists, writing music scores and, of course, teaching!

So, if you want to learn, or want you child to learn music give Joy a call today to find out how she can help you.
