I'm a dedicated teacher, performer and academic in Early Music, specialising in Recorder and Flute.
It was winning a music scholarship to The Mayfield School that proved a wonderful experience for me; leading me to study at Trinity College of Music, where I was awarded the Silver Medal for performance alongside my BMus (Hons) degree and highly commended in the Ella Kidney Early Music competition.
Following this, I took up a place at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music for postgraduate studies, then on to the Sir John Cass College of Art at the London Metropolitan University, where I graduated with an MA(res) in Organology - the science and academic study of musical instruments.
