Thank you for visiting my page. I am a professional cellist based in Tain and perform for all special occasions. As well as performing I have been teaching cello, piano and violin for eighteen years, and have experience of working with students of varied ages from 4 years old. For the last several years I have been composing, focusing mostly on music for children.
Regarding performing, I have played for a lot of special events in both the UK and the USA. The majority of the repertoire I perform has been arranged for Solo 'Cello by myself.
The 'Cello is a unique, emotional and powerful instrument. It's quality of sound, range of notes, diversity, and romantic characteristics will make your special day feel complete.
The repertoire I perform spans from the Baroque to the Contemporary. I am constantly expanding my repertoire, and therefore happy to arrange a specific song you would like performed.
