I am a licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music (LRAM) and have been teaching and accompanying for 22 years. With a Cambridge languages degree, I help singers to overcome difficulties with French, German, Italian and Russian when preparing for examinations or recitals. I have accompanied instrumental students for their assessments at Durham University or at auditions for orchestras. I have worked as House Pianist on courses at such venues as West Dean, Sussex and Great Missenden Abbey, Bucks. Sessions are both at my home, where I have a Steinway grand piano, or at venues where performers wish to rehearse. Occasionally I have accompanied singers on the organ (I have Grade 8 distinction).
