Additional Info:

I have over 12 years of professional performance experience as a solo artist for weddings, parties and functions, and as an accompanist for instrumentalists, vocalists and choirs. I am available for examinations, recitals, concerts and festivals, recording sessions and shows. I can perform in a wide range of genres from popular through to classical and jazz styles.

As a private tutor I have considerable experience teacing the ABRSM syllabus, with a 100% pass rate to date. I teach at my private address in Wawne village near Hull and also at the Hull University music department. Fully trained as a music teacher on the PGCE programme at Hull College music department.

Trained at the University of Hull, I graduated with a First Class music degree in 2007 specialising in advanced solo piano performance and piano accompaniment. I was awarded AHRC funding to undertake a Masters degree in Music specialising in solo performance and performance analysis, which I succesfully completed in 2008. I studied the piano with Irina Glushenkova, a former student of Mikhail Pletnev (Moscow Conservatoire). In addition, I received specialist piano tuition from some of the country's leading solo artists including Benjamin Frith, Colin Stone, the Cann Twins and Sarah Beth-Briggs.

I am currently the resident accompanist for the Maureen Hunter Singers based in Hull, East Yorkshire. The MHS is a choir with over 80 members and they have recently performed in such distinguished venues as Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Vatican. Alongside this the choir have performed in front of HRH Prince Philip, Prince Edward and Her Majesty the Queen.

If a piano is unavailable at your venue I can provide my own high-quality Roland stage piano. References available on request
