Dr Catherine Carr (Guitar)
Instruments: Acoustic Guitar, Classical Guitar and Ukulele
My name is Catherine and I teach classical and acoustic guitar, steel pan and ukulele to individuals and groups. I've been a musician for many years in a long career influenced by different musical styles and cultures. Diversity across age, culture and ability is an important part of my consistent track record of musical experience in teaching, coaching, mentoring and performing. I especially enjoy inspiring new generations of musicians and have led music ensembles for students to showcase their talents and gain in confidence. As a solo musician I perform and record internationally and collaborate with various acclaimed artists. I have a PhD, an MPhil and a B.A. (Hons) in Music and have shared my musical passion with audiences at the BBC and international conferences and events. Closer to home I play guitar in hospitals as part of the Sheffield Arts in Health project.
