Welcome!
| This is my personal website that has
grown and developed over the past 8 years. I'm a composer
and musician, teacher and lecturer. I use this
site to share my music and research (and maybe do a little bit of
self-promotion). To enquire about employing my Skills and Services, for example, private music lessons or commission a film score or transcribe your music or facilitate a music workshop or want me to help you produce a CD or anything else that uses my skills, then contact me. I'd be happy to help if I can. NEW! MP3s - some of my music works. |

I have moved to Dorset and will be travelling back to Birmingham to lecture for part of the week. Some pupils, whom I already teach, will be able to receive lessons by appointment. I am settling into my new home and studio, and can now accept new pupils. Please contact me. Thanks.Skills & Services
