About me

I have an undergraduate honours degree and a masters degree in music from the University of Oxford, where I studied with Edward Higginbottom at New College and Owen Rees at The Queen’s College among many amazing and fascinating world-class tutors.

Both Professor Higginbottom and Professor Rees are widely acknowledged to be outstanding musicians and teachers, and both are internationally regarded as among the world’s greatest living academic music directors.

I studied piano at Oxford, and I also specialised in composition, orchestration and the technical analysis of musical theory – especially harmony.

I have Licentiate diplomas from Trinity College London (LTCL) in both performance piano and performance flute.

Experience

I have over 30 years experience performing, composing and teaching music.  I’ve worked with a wide range of musical abilities ranging from beginners taking their first steps into the wonderful world of music-making, through to professional soloists.

I’ve also been lucky enough to work with some amazing opera and musical choruses and soloists over the years, as well as playing with rock bands and jazz ensembles.
