About Me

I went to Primary Royal Academy of Music from ages 9-12, then Junior, then moved to Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama. My main musical instruments were piano and viola. At school, I learnt the trumpet. I have grade 8 in piano and viola, got them before the age of 16. I have grade 7 trumpet which I did when I was 17. I was in the National Children’s Orchestra up til age 11, National Youth String Orchestra aged 14, National Youth Orchestra aged 15-18. I went from the back to the front of the orchestra in 2 years. I can also play the church organ to a high standard.

I am now about to finish my degree at Durham University in Liberal Arts, specifically Politics, Philosophy and French.
