I am a musician living and working in Purley on Thames, Berkshire,
England, with experience in many musical styles and organisations.
My main interest is in composition,
and the composer section of this site lists a number of my musical
works which are for sale. Most of the music has been
successfully performed by schools, church choirs and groups and solo
performers.
I am a member of the BBC
Symphony Chorus, singing a large and challenging repertoire in
many concerts, both in the UK and abroad, and in recording sessions
each year. In the past I have sung with local choral
societies and have been the conductor of choirs, choruses and
orchestras. I am currently the choirmaster of the Aldworth
Philharmonic Choir (part of the Aldworth
Philharmonic Orchestra).
I am experienced in playing the
piano as an accompanist for soloists on various instruments and for
singers. I also regularly play with local orchestras, both
on the piano and on percussion.
I trained as a music teacher,
gaining a BEd degree from the University of Oxford in 1976, and have
taught piano, music theory and aural work successfully. I am CRB
checked.
I am married and have three
children - all now adult, living and working in Reading and Oxford.
My wife taught for many years in a local primary school. |
