I started playing the violin aged 3 and a half, under the tuition of Hazel Fairbairn (later, in Ireland, during my degree, Siobhán Peoples), and have been teaching myself to play piano for quite a number of years too. I also dabble with a few other instruments...
I've been composing since the age of (aprox.) 8, when I wrote a tune called "Moggy The Froggy" on the piano. My compositional style has, unsurprisingly, evolved in a rather different direction over the years, and I am currently collating/composing tracks for an album of self-penned material which I hope to record in the near future.
I don't currently take private pupils for regular tuition but would certainly consider one-off classes. I teach at the Burwell Bash folk music course every summer in Cambridgeshire, with Jock Tyldesley. Other tutors include/have included Brian Finnegan, Nancy Kerr, Liz Doherty, Ed Boyd, Sam Pirt, and Katherine Millman.
