I have been playing bassoon since 1997. Within a year I had obtained Grade 4 with distinction, and I achieved Grade 8 in 2001. I was awarded a DipABRSM in Performance in the summer of 2009. I am currently studying with Tom Hardy in London.
My sight-reading is of a high standard, and when required I am able to play performances at sight. For example, I have performed Debussy's Prélude à l'Après-Midi d'un Faune and Elgar's 'cello concerto at sight, and Mozart's clarinet concerto and Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring on a single rehearsal.
