Having been first appointed in Sydney by the then Director of the NSW State Conservatorium,  Sir Eugene Goossens,  and later in London by Sir David Willcocks as a piano professor at the Royal College of Music, I taught there for 25 years.

My association with Pembroke began in 1989 when the mother of one of my private London graduate students suggested that I ask College if I might teach there on its renowned piano, whether or not the students were at Pembroke. This worked successfully for many years, sometimes in other colleges, sometimes in Pembroke, not always in preparation for the Performance Option, and, as a few remarkable cases proved, when the graduate or postgraduate was not taking Music as an option.

Especially memorable are the Performance Classes,  weekly or fortnightly as required, and which I provide without charge, contributing as they do to allied skills such as teaching, learning  and presentation.

Finally I hope it remains relevant that I have been active all of my professional life as an accompanist, chamber player and operatic+choral conductor specialising not in performances of music by unknown composers but in neglected masterworks by those such as Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and much French and Spanish music.
