Music for Liturgy

Maybe I can help you?

I am an experienced, well-qualified and collegially minded freelance church-musician and organist based in north London. I have up-to-date Enhanced DBS clearance and hold Qualified Teacher Status.

I studied organ-performance and choral conducting on the Advanced Post-graduate Performers course at the Royal Academy of Music (University of London) gaining the Principal’s ‘Frederick Keene Prize’ for organ performance and the Academy’ s licentiate diploma (LRAM) for organ teaching.  I also hold the Royal College of Music’s diploma (ARCM) for organ performance, with honours.

My PhD is in historical musicology (Goldsmiths, University of London), my studies funded by AHRC, and my Masters degree is in Liturgical Music (APU Cambridge). My Bachelors degree is in Music Education (University of Winchester).

I have successfully combined my musical career not only with that of a classroom teacher in inner-London primary and secondary schools but also as a university-based project manager both at UCL and at Birkbeck, University of London.

And to those special people who have variously been musical mentors and guides … “Thank you”
