Former Northumberland Teacher, Now Enjoying a Life in Music


A former science teacher from Northumberland, now deeply involved in community music describes his journey from classroom to the community.

I loved teaching, but I’ve always believed that education should be about inspiration, not just instruction. I have found that people are always willing to discover their creativity, whether they’re teenager or retiree.

My day ranges from practicing, writing and arranging music to performing with various local ensembles.

I am a retired teacher and this blog is about a life beyond the classroom. I write regularly about teaching, career change, and personal growth, as well as more wide ranging subjects.

Creativity isn’t a luxury. It’s how we rebuild ourselves.
