About me

Mission

I aim to help people realise their musical potential by the development of their voice. Apart from the sheer joy of it, singing can create greater self-confidence and a more positive approach to life. Whether you are aiming to win a national TV talent contest, get the lead parts in your local operatic company, or just want to have fun, I can help.

Music

I am a professional vocal coach, performer and director of the Bournemouth Community Gospel Choir. My qualification is a CertEd LTCL (Trinity College of Music, London).

I have been involved with music education for over twenty years and successfully established a music department in a local Bournemouth school, run various school choirs and for six years have worked as a vocal coach at Bournemouth University.

I have performed as a soloist around the country in a variety of genres and venues.

As an enthusiastic workshop leader I am always keen to pass on skills to encourage more people of all ages and abilities to sing.

I believe that everyone has a voice and that music has the power to unite and transcend those differences that can harm us and cause disharmony.

Art

I recently rediscovered my passion for painting and take inspiration from my love of music, colour, rhythm and holidays abroad!

I am told that my compositions abound with vibrant energy and are reminiscent of the expressionists and fauvistes such as Gauguin, Chagall and Matisse.
