I’m a versatile pianist who is comfortable playing in a range of genres, from Bach’s preludes and fugues to improvising on jazz standards. I studied music at the University of York and I hold diplomas with the Royal College of Organists, Trinity College London, ABRSM and the Guildhall School of Music.
I became a church organist at the age of twelve and have held appointments at a number of churches in Yorkshire and London. I’ve performed organ recitals around the country and have accompanied choirs and orchestras in major choral works. I’m also the organist behind Organoke®!
Piano Accompaniment
Each term, I accompany students taking instrumental and vocal exams, ranging from grade 1 to diploma level and from string exams to musical theatre. I take great care at putting candidates at ease before they play. I also accompany soloists and ensembles in concerts. I particularly enjoy playing English song and Brahms’ chamber works. But I always love taking on new challenges and have worked with German wind orchestras playing Vaughan-Williams to the cast of the BBC’s ‘The Archers’ singing ‘The Marrow Song’!
Organ Recitals & Organoke
I enjoy visiting different organs around the world and have travelled as far as the Netherlands, the USA and Ukraine to try out different instruments. I’ve performed on a wide variety, from a harmonium in a small chapel on the island of Capri, to the grand organ of the Royal Albert Hall in London.
I have a diverse repertoire and have performed works by Pachelbel to Ligeti in recitals. As organist at St Giles’ Church in Camberwell, I enjoy sharing the organ works of Samuel Sebastian Wesley, one of my predecessors.
