TM: Can you introduce yourself to us?

DW: I’ve been in my current role – a primary music teacher – for 11 years in a two-form inner London primary school. Prior to this I worked in other schools and have done peripatetic work in music services across a few boroughs. I was a musician first before I became a teacher, and my background is mainly in jazz.

TM: What do you enjoy most about your job?

DW: In general, it’s such a privilege to work every day with young people. They are interesting and surprise me in ways I never expect. It’s fantastic to work with them, making music every day and enriching their lives.
