When I was 4 years old, whilst on a shopping trip with my parents, I discovered an electric keyboard on display in a department store. Whilst my parents were looking at items on the next shelf, I entertained myself by pressing all the keys. It took all their efforts to drag me away, after which they surprised me for my birthday by giving me a keyboard. The rest, as they say, is history. I began taking Piano lessons at school when I was 5 and was introduced to the cello when I was 7. My love of Music has only gained in strength and I don’t ever remember a time when it wasn’t a huge part of my life. After getting my GCSE in Music I gained a place at Cricklade College in Andover on their Pre-professional Music course studying for A-levels in Practical Music, Theoretical Music and Psychology. This was a turning point for me as over the 2 year course I was immersed in a wide variety of Music training including performance, improvisation and sight singing. The first class tuition I received whilst there strengthened my love of Music and led me to study for my Bachelor of Music at the University of Surrey at Roehampton, London.
