I am a Head of Music and a Conductor based in South Oxfordshire.
I am very privileged to direct and conduct Didcot Choral Society, in their thrice yearly concerts. The repertoire is wide ranging, from choral classics to contemporary songs. My philosophy as director is to be inclusive, informative, and to build on the joy that people share in music. I keep all programme notes and other musings here. I also take commissions on writing programme notes, so please get in touch ahead of your own concert.
As Head of Music at St. Birinus School, an all-boys state comprehensive, I lead the music curriculum and coordinate the extra-curriculum music provision. I am passionate about pedagogy that makes music accessible to boys, especially around the vocal change.
I enjoy editing early music and German Lieder, and a few of my editions are available on this website.
I arrange music for boy’s changing voices and for School Ukulele groups, which can be found here. I hope that other educators can find these resources useful!
