Simon Horsey has been teaching both class and instrumental music for over 15 years. He also gives regular presentations on Practice Technique at various schools and studios. As a result of these presentations he set up the http://www.essential-music-practice.com website. Simon is the author of the book Practice Makes Perfect: The Keys To Success On Any Musical Instrument. He also produced Lesson Notes and Practice targets, a book for teachers and students to use during music lessons (available from Amazon.com) and Practice Targets and Evaluations a book to support those learning an instrument without a teacher. Simon is currently working on a new site, http://www.essential-music-theory.com, hoping to help students realise that music theory is actually easier than they may think! He is currently Director of Music at an International School.
