I am a graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music and hold an LRSM qualification in piano performance.
I held a job as staff accompanist at Xaverian College Manchester for a covering temporary contract for around 5 months where I accompanied choirs and individuals and sight read most music everyday. I was also awarded highly commended in a high profile singing competition for the accompanist prize at the RNCM. I currently accompany at the Belvedere Preparatory School for their various external engagements and rehearsals.
Aside from this I have lots of accompaniment experience having accompanied various choirs, chamber music sessions, piano orchestral accompaniment and instrumental accompaniment, most often for saxophone, cello, violin, clarinet, singers and euphonium.
I have accompanied for many ABRSM grade exams from grade 1 to diploma standard. I am happy to accompany exams, festivals, concerts etc.
I have also accompanied for many charity events in Brighton, Southport and Wigan. See the link on my links page to see the latest event I was a part of as an accompanist.
It is a passion of mine to accompany and I enjoy it at every level.
