WHY BOOK HOVER FLY?

Hover Fly is an extremely competent and inspiring creative leader with a fun, captivating and energising presence. She has been sharing her passion for music with young people in creative educational settings for 15 years.

During her 10 years’ as a professional artist and performer, she has been featured on BBC 6 Music and Jazz FM, won a global competition to appear on the ‘Climate Soundtrack’ compilation album raising funds to fight climate change, performed in many UK-renowned jazz festivals and venues, recorded for artists at Warner Bros Studios, performed as a bassist in top venues of Bristol's jam scene and scored music for a short film for an international director in Hong Kong.

In her work sharing this passion and experience with others, she has co-created original music with children for a Youth Theatre Company, led an award-winning Gospel Choir in a school, facilitated music workshops at a creative nursery, delivered captivating songwriting workshops at primary schools, taught therapeutic music to teenaged refugees and asylumn seekers at the charity Play For Progress, led a music project at a Cambodian orphanage and taught private music tuition to children.


Her bespoke workshops can be tailored to specific areas of study for any Key Stage and covers:

Her deep empathetic nature allows her to intuitively follow the flow of group creativity, and weaving this with trauma-informed grounding and breathing practices, she is able to bring out the deepest and most healing, fun and liberating experience for her participants.

Her work goes beyond curriculum and surface level musical engagement, as she draws on her 25 years of self-inquiry and well-being practices to enrich and deepen her musical offerings.  From dancing ballet since age 3 and playing musical instruments from age 5, she has cultivated a highly-developed mind-body-sound connection and energetic sensitivity to emotion, and advocates working with creativity as a powerful life-force energy in the body to help live a full, healthy and deeply satisfying life.
