Professional qualifications and areas of expertise/special areas of interest
I work for, and with, multiple charities inside the Stowmarket area focused on care, wellbeing and building communities. For the last few years I have returned to music, both as a singing leader and community musician.
I support Music In Our Bones with their Songlines group, provide co-leader cover and support if and when needed and suddenly with the pandemic became the charity’s sound editor and CD producer!
Singing experience
I was a failed musician in the 1990’s. My Father was a known musician in Coventry and London and my Sister is an Opera singer. I wouldn’t attempt Opera, but I play a range of instruments, functionally, and gigs cover the costs of some of my local singing groups.

I have been team teaching with Tracy Sharp since 2016. I run several independent singing groups, mainly focused around people living with dementia and/or Parkinson’s
