It's nice to meet you!
Hi! I'm Joanna and I started Just Play Music as a student at university whilst completing my Songwriting degree. Fast forward ten years, and I am proud to still be teaching some of the families I started my teaching journey with. I provide a truly personalised approach to music tuition and commit to ensuring progression whilst nurturing the passion that led to you choosing me as a tutor.
A little bit about me...
I started singing in school choirs at 9 years old, and performed my first original song at an open mic night aged 12. After this, music became a passion of mine and I worked hard to make it a career. At 16 I attended London's Institute of Contemporary Music Performance where I completed a vocal diploma, Songwriting degree and started this small tuition company! I released my first EP 'JOY' at 19 and was thrilled to see it chart at #21 on iTunes. This led to a variety of opportunities, including playing the Bluebird Café in Nashville. Today, I am proud to work at London's British Institute of Modern Music where I work on the course leadership team for Songwriting degree pathways. I also run a musical theatre school locally, Make Believe Bexleyheath, and continue to write regularly and perform within function bands in London & Kent.
