About Claire Barrass
I am a musician and music teacher based in Eastbourne.
As your music teacher, what matters to me most is finding out what really inspires you, because practising shouldn’t feel like a chore.
Classically trained from the age of 6 on the piano, I added the flute aged 11 and later the sax. I love performing and travelled across the country with a band in my teens.
In my early 20s, I studied piano further in the USA, before returning to the UK to complete my four year teaching degree, with a specialism in music - which, of course, enabled me to become a music teacher.
My taste is eclectic - I love country music, have a background in classical, and really enjoy playing sax in big bands and folk music.
I regularly accompany pupils for their music exams.
