I studied full-time at the London College of Music gaining my ALCM and LLCM in singing performance (1975-1980) while training under Welsh baritone Ivor Evans. For the last twenty years I’ve been teaching juniors and seniors at Embley, St Anne’s Catholic School and Atherley Girls School, as well as teaching privately from my home in Winchester, Hampshire.
