pianoforte playing and gained her Performer's ARCM at the age of 17. She
has done recitals in London, also in Australia and New Zealand. She has
taught piano in several schools and at Roehampton University for some
twenty years, where she also examined final year students in their
recital programmes. She has also adjudicated at school Music
Competitions. Her main teaching experience has been at The Royal College
