Trained also as piano duettist with Geffrey Pratley RAM.

Over the last 8 years I have worked as one of 4 official accompanists for the Birmingham Music Service and regularly accompany other professional musicians and in the past such choirs as Spires Philharmonic Choir, Coventry.
I am currently working as an accompanist within the Warrington, Manchester and Liverpool areas although I still do some work in the Telford area (Abraham Darby Haberdashers Academy and Wrekin College) for GCSE and A'Level examinations including ABRSM practical examinations and Diploma accompaniment.
I also work as a deputy organist at St Mary's Shrine Church in Warrington.

I am an excellent sight reader and very sensitive performer and also a great support to nervous candidates no matter how young!
I have a working knowledge of all brass, woodwind and stringed instruments and, as a member of the RSCM I have much experience in directing and accompanying church choirs.
I shall be accompanying a young Flautist from the RBC in a recital at the BMI on the 22nd April 2022.

Over 20 years of accompanying and coaching musicians in preparation for ABRSM/Trinity exams and Diplomas candidates.
