I gained a BA degree in Music from Oxford University, where I also held a choral scholarship. I played in various university orchestras and ensembles and sang in several college choirs.

I have a keen interest in academic Music, and studied for a Masters in Musicology at the University of Durham, obtaining a distinction. My areas of expertise include music theory and music history, and my specialist interests include music therapy, reception history, the musical canon and literary theory.
