I completed my BMus(Hons) at the University of Surrey in 1996 and then went on to do a PGCE (Secondary Music) at Liverpool Hope University College. Since then I have taught music in two secondary schools and am currently Head of Music in a very successful school in the North West of England.
I am a trombonist first and foremost, and have had a wealth of experience playing in many different types of ensembles. I also have a lot of solo experience. I play piano and the drum kit as well.
I currently play with the
Debonaires which travels around the UK to play for many different types of events. I also dep for shows, party bands, big bands, soul bands, orchestras - anything which peaks my interest really!
I have arranged a lot of music for many different types of ensemble including big band, brass quintet, brass ensemble, sax quartet, sax ensemble, string quartet, recorder quartet, wind quintet, trombone quartet, brass band etc., as well producing as many educational products.
I have my own range of education titles under the
Mixed Abilities brand, providing highyl flexible compositions and arrangements for educational settings.
I am interested in a wide variety of music and am always eager to expand my current catalogue of arrangements for any ensemble. If there is a particular piece that you would like arranging, please drop me a line here:
