I love my work! I studied at the Royal College of Music (violin and composition) and have always enjoyed variety in my music career. String arranging and orchestration have ended up as my specialities, but via bands and radio commercials and music theatre (musical director for The Rocky Horror Show ‘96 – ‘99) and teaching.

I’ve also developed a special interest in web tools for musicians – as learners, teachers and professionals.  I run workshops and training, and work as an etutor.  My wikispace documents my interests and research.  Elearning for Musicians.

I live in Manchester UK with my wife and son.

    Hello,

    I’m in love with your music. I was referred to you by a friend, who said you might be able to help me?

    I’m desperately seeking violin, grand piano.
    Are you available at all?

    Thanks in advance, -ALi H

    Glad I found your website and educational blog. Can you tell me what program you use for notation that you use in your videos?

    Hi Glenn, to make a movie showing music notation I use a Overture for the notation (though any notation programme would do) Snapz Pro to record the screen actions then iMovie to edit the video and add a voice over.
