Fanfare Music’s family of tutors and performers are here to help you find your inner music. But who are the creators and teachers who will be welcoming you to our school and studio?
Hi, I’m Jenna Fan! I’m a mum of three, and I’m passionate about making music accessible to everyone. Music is my life - and that’s why I started Fanfare! (Did you spot the pun?)
Ever since I was little, my dream has been to work in music. That dream’s already coming true - I genuinely love teaching piano, whether that’s youngsters or fellow mums and dads from all walks of life! I’ve helped teach younger children, as well as baby and toddler groups, too!
These days, I'm working hard songwriting with my two bands, Amber Falls and Our Parallel Lives, and helping people find their voice through various projects in the community through my social enterprise Go Pop CIC.
To me, watching my students gain confidence and progress in their music skills is so rewarding.
As a young musician, I really valued just being able to pick up an instrument and to really get stuck in. I want that for our students, too! You should never be afraid to give something a go. For younger kids, that’s bottle ukuleles and box drums, and for adults, that might be finally picking up the guitar after years of ‘maybe some other time’!
I’m always growing as a musician, too! Eventually, I’d love to learn the saxophone or the drums. For now, I’m committed to helping people gain confidence in their performance.
Hi, I’m Nick! I’m an experienced guitar player and tutor, having started learning classical guitar from the age of seven. From there, I progressed to electric, bass, and even the drums once I became a teenager.
I eventually joined the Kirklees Classical Guitar Orchestra, competing up and down the UK - and I played bass for the Kirklees Senior Wind Band, too!
I attended Huddersfield Rock School, have an A Level in Music Technology, and a 2:1 BA (Hons) degree in Music Technology and Audio System Design from Derby University.
I absolutely adore the guitar - I’ve been writing and playing in bands for well over 20 years, performing covers and original songs alike. I’m the drummer for the Local Vocals Pop Choir, and I also play bass in a covers band - Han (not) Solo!
For the past five weeks I’ve been covering singing lessons. When asked, my initial reaction was, ‘What, me? A singing teacher! Don’t be silly!’. But since it was such short notice the school had a choice of either asking me or cancelling the lessons. And I had a choice of either letting my friend down […]

Ahhh Gareth Malone. What’s not to love? Ever since I saw ‘The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing’ on the telly all those years ago I’ve been inspired by his energetic approach to getting more people singing. And so whenever I hear a rumour that he’s starting a new series, I make a point of watching, and […]

Kids love Easter because they get given loads of chocolate. And then us ‘responsible’ parents feel obliged to ‘help’ by slowly working our way through the mountain to reduce the amount of chocolate consumed by our children, whose health we respect more than our own. Well, my jeans and I would prefer it if grandparents, […]
