I’m a musician who divides my time between performing, composing, and teaching. A graduate of The University of Huddersfield and the Royal Northern College of Music, I have been working professionally in the music industry for over twenty years. My first musical experiences were through my local brass band who gave me an instrument and showed me how to play it and although the saxophone is now my principal instrument, I play the euphonium to the same professional level. This has given me a wide range of opportunities across classical, jazz, contemporary, and musical theatre. I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the best orchestras, wind and brass ensembles, big bands, and pit orchestras in the UK

For me, music is all about connection — whether that’s telling a story through composition, collaborating with fellow musicians on stage, or helping a student find their own sound.
