About

I’m an experienced singer/songwriter, composer and music teacher based in Manchester.

From a background where music was greatly valued, I studied piano, clarinet and composition at the Royal Northern College of Music and graduated with the qualifications GRNCM LTCL.

I’ve been playing and writing music my whole life and as a music teacher I have been able to share this experience with others.

My Experience

  • Classical pieces for solo piano and for clarinet and piano.
  • Songs for choirs. These have been performed in schools and included in speech days and music festivals.
  • Songs for children. These have been used in schools and nurseries and were published by Scholastic publications.
  • Popular/jazzy songs. Many of these have been published and broadcast.

  • Arrangements of popular tunes for flute and clarinet duet and for piano solo.
  • Lyrics written for a publisher to create English versions of Italian songs.
  • Instrumental music for background music systems and music stations in the U.S. Also for relaxation and pilates classes.
