My musical education included Norwich Cathedral Choral and Diocesan Organ Scholarships, I have played the piano since the age of five, and I held two consecutive music scholarships during my PhD at the University of Leicester (one for performance, one for composition).  I have mostly recorded these pieces for friends and family, but am happy to release them more widely.  I hope you enjoy. The instrument used is a Celviano GP300 hybrid grand.
