Experienced community musician and orchestral musician; Senior Lecturer & Head of Music Education at Trinity Laban where I lead programmes that connect performance and education, and that offer accredited CPD to Teaching Musicians. The Department of Music Education at Trinity Laban train musicians to work in multiple contexts, from education to community, with a view that the traditional barriers between these settings are fading fast. Formerly Musical Director, Sound Futures Youth Music Action Zone; Musician-in-Residence National Maritime Museum. I have worked for many arts organisations, particularly in orchestral outreach programmes; I particularly specialise in processes of collaborative composition.
