"
I am 59 years old. I've worked in music all my life including writing
music for BBC television and running a professional recording studio for
sixteen years.
I've
enjoyed running community music projects for the last seven years including
three years studying music therapy and counselling skills.
I run four successful community choirs in Taunton Minehead Tiverton and
Exeter and have worked closely with Foxes Academy in Minehead for learners
with learning disabilities. I provide music sessions for Parkinsons UK
in North and West Somerset and have recently run music workshops with
Rethink Mental Health Charity in Exeter and with Headway in Taunton and
Bridgwater. Currently developing a music well being programme for Somerset
NHS Partnership.

I
recently enjoyed two years study of music therapy at UWE before switching
to study psycho-dynamic and person-centred counselling skills for a third
year.
My
particular interest is the appropriate use of therapeutic music techniques
in recreational music settings.
I work closely with Moorvale Creative CIC - a not-for-profit community
interest company based in the south west that promotes creative programmes
in the local community and further afield.
