I have a lifelong interest in Classical music, having trained in the piano and cello from childhood. I studied as a junior student at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow while still at school, and then moved full time to Napier College, Edinburgh where I obtained the qualifications of ALCM, LLCM (TD) and the Diploma of Napier College.

Finally I studied for three years at The University of Liverpool and graduated with a B.A. Honours in Music. My dissertation was in Schubert´s late song cycles and I trained in singing at both Napier College and The University of Liverpool. I also participated in the College and University Choirs. After leaving University I sang in the NorthKen Chorale under Betty Roe for several years.

I have written for BellaOnline since 2002, first as the Tatting Editor, then the Knitting Editor and, since 2008, as the Classical Music Editor. I am delighted to be able to share my knowledge and love of music with my readers.
