I'm a musician and Qigong practitioner - and teacher of both. I teach music in schools with groups of children learning trumpet and how to play in ensembles, jazz and related music. My main instrument is trumpet and I compose, improvise and play in various groups, some of which I lead and write for.
I practise Qigong every day - a meditative/energetic Daoist practise that is most beneficial for health and well-being. I'm a good teacher too!
I have a teenage daughter who lives part time with me here, part time with her Mum nearby. 
Her Mum is from Cuba and I have spent a lot of time there... it is an amazing place, I want to go again. I've also travelled in Europe and in the Middle East and Morocco.
