When I first started piano lessons at the age of six, I enjoyed improvising and picking out tunes on the piano. My teacher was very accommodating in being willing to notate these early efforts. Whilst at school, I composed a number of pieces which were performed, most notably, the anthem The Time We Have is Precious which was sung in Gloucester Cathedral at the school’s Founders’ Day service. A good number of my compositions and arrangements were written in response to the needs of individuals, ensembles and choirs with which I’ve worked. They are predominantly aimed at amateur groups and often at those with limited resources. I compose and arrange in a wide range of musical styles and genres. Works have been described as ‘refreshing’, ‘effective’ and ‘sensitive’. Pieces are published in the UK, USA and Canada. Performances take place worldwide, but particularly in the US. The music I write is diverse both in its style and instrumentation, but overall, its intention is to be accessible and enjoyable. I hold several diplomas for composition, including two from the London College of Music, and I am a Writer Member of PRS and MCPS.
