About Me

Never one to hang around, I began my career in music at the age of 12, as an accompanist for ballet and tap dancing schools in London. I soon found that there were students asking me to teach them to play, and have been teaching ever since. I have now been teaching piano, singing and music theory for 30 years. I cover all styles of music from jazz and blues to pop, rock, musical theatre and classical. I run choirs and music ensembles both in and out of schools and I work as a Music Assessment Specialist for Cambridge University Press and Assessment.

I am also a songwriter and composer. I pretty much think about music all day long!

Along with piano and singing, I also play the ‘cello, and saxophones (tenor and baritone). I live on the borders of Cambridgeshire with my family, including a pair of teenage boys and a giant Labrador. The Labrador likes pup music the best.
