Hi! I love playing for children and students too, playing for the past three years for Andrew Ward's "DanceForward", the popular Easter course for children held annually at Dulwich College near London, and regularly for students at DanceEast in Ipswich .I also enjoy playing for RAD ballet exams, particularly for Jacqui Ison and her Bishop's Stortford School of Performing Arts .
I hope you will enjoy dancing to the music on these CDs as much as I enjoyed playing the piano!

Playing for dancers for 25 years has taught me many things - how to make music "dance" being one of them - and the importance of giving teachers and students the best possible musical support in their ballet class. I use melodies from opera, ballet, classical and popular music,
to ensure a variety of music to accompany the exercises and inspire.
