Steve Banks Musician, composer, teacher

I play violin – classical and folk, drums and sing with the Carnival Band (www.carnivalband.com – music in the spirit of carnival from across the centuries and across the globe) and celtic folk band Chanter (www.chanter.org.uk). I play classical violin with the Ten Tors Orchestra.

I teach at South Devon College (www.southdevon.ac.uk) on the Foundation Degree in Performance Practice and Events Management. I also teach violin and beginners piano privately and at a number of schools in Torbay and South Hams.
