    Phil Wyard

    Tutor - Music

    Music is my all-consuming passion. This included writing, performing, recording, producing, running a record label, tour managing and managing bands, before moving into teaching and lecturing. Having the opportunity to teach and support students through the music course as they transform from beginners to fully fledged professional musicians, whether that be behind the scenes or 'out front' performing, is an absolute joy.
