Personal Description:

For the last fifteen years I have been continuously working as a piano accompanist for ballet classes and contemporary dance classes for such organisations as: Academy of Northern Ballet, SLP Performing Arts College and Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds as well as various dance schools in Leeds and surrounding areas. Throughout my career I learned how to improvise, compose, quickly learn technical pieces and make arrangements of classical, pop and jazz music. As part of my job I provided piano accompaniment for numerous workshops at majority of primary and secondary schools across Yorkshire. By performing music every day I gained valuable experience and now I am ready to share it.
