About Me

After finding a clarinet in the back of a cupboard at the age of 9, I became passionate about  music, reaching grade 8 by the time I was 18. 
 
During this time I played with the Schools Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO) and the West of England School Symphonic Wind Band (WESSWB).
​
After obtaining an A level in Music, I went on to study a 4 year performance degree on the clarinet at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) studying under Alison Lambert, John Reynolds and Peter Fielding.  
​
I completed my degree and chose to study for a further year gaining a Postgraduate Diploma on the clarinet and bass clarinet.
