Introduction
Areas of work
01
For theatres
I love telling stories through music, aiming to mix catchy with quirky to create memorable songs.
Composer, arranger and musical director, writing songs that tell a story, and bringing them to life in the rehearsal room.
I am a composer, arranger and musical director and I'm happiest when writing or in a rehearsal room. I have a personal interest in folk stories, queer stories, horror, and humour.
02
For schools & publishers
Musicals and songs for primary schools, tie-in educational materials for theatres, and curriculum resources with high-level score preparation (Dorico, Sibelius).
03
For community groups
Outreach in care homes, SEND schools and with unhomed participants, plus many community choirs and singing projects. Founder of Wyrd Voices, an inclusive community choir in Northampton.

For schools & publishers
Music, learning and resources made for the room they're used in.
I've worked as a music practitioner and curriculum teacher, as well as having a background in publishing. I have written musicals and songs for primary schools, and created tie-in educational materials for theatres. I've also created many of my own curriculum resources and have a high level of written English and score preparation (Dorico, Sibelius).
For community groups
Music and theatremaking should be for everyone.
My community music work has included outreach in care homes, SEND schools and unhomed participants, as well as many community choirs and singing projects. I am the founder of Wyrd Voices, an inclusive community choir in Northampton.
