QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
I have been playing organ since I was 7 years old. I have grown up in a traditional church choir starting as a treble and moving on to Tenor, and I've been playing organ and piano at various churches since moving to London in September 2009.
I am a practising christian, which helps with understanding church music and how it is performed. I am currently Musical Director at Church of the Ascension in Ealing, where I've been since June 2011. I direct the church choir, which I built from scratch. I play Traditional Organ hymns and modern worship songs on Piano with a worship band on a weekly basis, so my knowledge of church repertoire is quite extensive. I am an accomplished sight reader, which is helpful for being booked at the last minute. I also accompany shows and examinations.
I studied at the London College of Music and I have a Bachelor of Music degree with honours in Music Performance specialising on Electric Organ, which means I can perform a concert/recital using three different keyboard instruments (Electric Organ, Church Organ & Piano).
GEOGRAPHICAL AVAILABILITY
I am based in West London, so I have access to London's transport system.
AVAILABILITY DURING THE WEEK
My availability is varied depending on the time of year and what jobs I have on. As Musical Director of my church, I can't do Sundays at all, but most other days, depending on what's already in my diary, I am available to take bookings.
