My journey as a musician started when I was 6, when I was told that piano lessons were on a Friday, that I must be good and do what the teacher asks. I didn't really question it, piano lessons were the 'done thing', my sister had started learning 5 years prior and I just followed on. Little did my parents know that what started as a little hobby, was going to become a very major part of my life. It became very clear that I felt so at home behind the piano and would spend hours just playing for enjoyment. After my dad took me to see Sir James Galway at the Guildhall, I chose the flute as well (or perhaps it chose me!), and had achieved ABRSM grade 8 on both by age 15. 

​

When I finished school, I attended Trinity College of music to study my degree in piano performance, specialising in 19th century social history of the piano. I studied piano under the wonderful inspiration of Philip Fowke, and flute under the enthusiastic guidance of Lynda Coffin. 

​

I sought a fresh challenge in the saxophone after I completed my degree and acheived my ATCL diploma 5 years later. And no, I haven't started another instrument...yet!

As a performer, I have had the privilege of of playing at a number of concert venues including St. James concert hall in Guernsey, Chelmsford cathedral and the Royal Festival Hall with Sir James Galway and the London Mozart Players.
