Biography

I live in Loughborough in Leicestershire from where I work as a singer, singing teacher and vocal coach. As well as being actively engaged in teaching and coaching, I am also currently studying for a post-graduate qualification in Vocal Performance at Birmingham Conservatoire, under the tuition of Margaret Field.

I began formal singing training in 1990 and since that time I have taken part in numerous concerts, workshops and theatre productions both acting and singing. I regularly sing as a soloist but I also enjoy ensemble singing and have sung with several Midlands groups including Vautor Ensemble, Cavendish Singers and the Richard Roddis Singers. In 2003 I won the Rae Woodland Scholarship, at the Leamington Spa festival of music, allowing me to attend the Britten-Pears School as an observer for ten days.

I am a carillonneur and play the 47 bell Carillon at Loughborough’s War Memorial.
