Curriculum

At the age of 5 I got a classical CD for kids on my birthday, which I loved, and repeatedly listened to.

I moved to the Perse Prep aged 7 and moved to the Perse Upper school aged 11, where I currently play piano in a swing band and participate in competitions. I enjoy composing, where I am told to have good creation, listening skills and structure.

I met Hilary Herron in January 2015, who I thought was a brilliant teacher and encouraged me to practise extensively. She guided me to interpret Chopin, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and more with my personal style and technique. I passed grade 8 with distinction.

Hilary also introduced me to perform piano for an audience and to teach young children on how to practice. I’ve then performed solo piano recitals at Michael House, Great St Mary and Wimpole Hall.

Hilary introduced me to Patrick Hemmerle, a french concert pianist in April 2016. Patrick has helped me re-develop my technique, focusing widely on Alexander technique, a technique which has helped me greatly.

I was introduced to Heli Ignatius-Fleet by pianist Mimia Margiotta. Heli teaches me how to maximise my playing and best apply my style. This is important when playing complex pieces. I am working towards diploma and looking for opportunities to be exposed.

I play piano in the restaurants, I have got a youtube channel and I play organ. I play organ for church services Easter, Christmas, Christening....

My hobby's beside music include maths, tennis, golf, swimming, shooting, flying and computer programming in school. I occasionally enjoy playing chess, although I am not great at it, and the same bowling.
