Advert description
After graduating, I started working for the Southampton Music Service as a peripatetic piano and clarinet teacher, whilst teaching freelance in and around the city. At the age of 22, I became the Director of Music at St. James Church West End, and joined the committee for the Winchester and District Association of Organists. I was the Conductor for The Woodside Singers from 2019-2020 before the pandemic hit. After the lockdowns had ended, I started working with the Welsh National Opera's Youth and Community Outreach in Southampton, encouraging young children to take their first steps into singing and story-telling through music, to rebuild their confidence and sense of self whilst exposing them to the world of opera. I also works as a visiting accompanist and répétiteur for WNO across the UK.
In January 2022 I stepped down from my directorship at St. James, in order to devote more time to the ever-growing private studio (which now sits at a membership of ~60 people of all ages and abilities). I perform regularly around the UK for a mixture of private functions and concerts.
I also regularly run workshops and masterclasses to local ensembles such as Wessex Chorus. I am in high demand as an educator, teaching both across the UK and internationally to students in the US, Italy and France. Pedagogically, I specialise in working with neurodivergent students (ADHD & Autism) and students that suffer from performance anxiety. I run regular workshops for piano (and occasionally organ) for his students, with end of term concerts and other events to help pianists and musicians meet up and play together in a musical, supportive community.
