I graduated in music from Dartington College of Arts with a First Class Honous Degree. I am a pianist and violinist/violist. I am particularly interested in contemporary music since studying at Dartington.
Since moving back to Exeter I am a self employed teacher, performer, editor + anything else I can get involved with. I am currently teaching the violin and viola with Exeter Young Strings (www.exeteryoungstrings.org) as well as coaching chamber groups with them. I am also working for Graham Fitkin (www.fitkin.com), inputting his handwritten scores into Sibelius as a result of meeting him during a project in my 3rd year at Dartington. I am involved with some projects with the Youth Company at the Norhtcott Theatre creating workshops and as a rehearsal pianist. I am playing regularly with a number of musicians including Ellie Chandler, with whom I am exploring piano duet repetoire, a newly formed string quartet and South West Camerata.
I am always looking for new music, if you have any you think I might like, please get in touch!
I am currently looking into my options for postgraduate courses and it seems the more I research, the more courses I find that I'd like to do. I will have to make a decision sometime I guess!
