Additional Info:	I studied with Caroline Diffley at Kent Music School and later with Dennis Dance at the Guildhall. I chose university over music college as I'm a bit of an academic at heart and have a first class music degree from Bristol where I studied with Christopher Northam and Kenneth Mobbs. I have been an accompanist since I was 7 when I played hymns for a local church and then accompanist for a ballet school throughout my teens, and am happy playing in any style although classically trained. I am staff accompanist for Dartington-based South West Music School (http://www.swms.org.uk/) and official accompanist for the Mid-Somerset Festival. As a founder member of Musicians South West (www.musicianssw.co.uk), a collective of professional chamber musicians, I organise and perform in chamber concerts across Somerset and surrounding areas. I can sight-read just about anything but as a very experienced music teacher/lecturer find the greatest satisfaction in coaching/collaboration and in producing a polished performance. Recent concerts include accompanying SWMS students in the Young Performers Showcase series at the Pound, Corsham and at Wiltshire Music Centre. I regularly accompany candidates for ABRSM exams, diplomas, competitions and auditions. NB I am a church organist and not a recital organist - I play for weddings and church services (using pedals!).
Fees:	£ 25.00 Pounds Per Hour I have a sliding fees scale reflecting the amount of preparation time involved, eg from an elementary grade exam (£20ph) up to a 20th century concerto (£35).
Instruments:	Piano, Organ, Harpsichord, Electric Keyboards
Additional Specialisms:	Jazz, Improvisation, Instrumental Accompaniment, Vocal Accompaniment, Vocal Répétiteur, Musical Theatre
