  Nucleo is a ‘music for social action’ programme in North Kensington, one of the most deprived areas in London. We use the pursuit of musical excellence as a way to enrich the lives of children and young people who, in turn, enrich the life of our community.As a brass tutor at Nucleo, I provide comprehensive instruction to students in one-on-one sessions or group classes of up to 30 individuals.
