Music exam accompanist based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

​​all boards  -  all grades  -  all styles
Let me help you to get you the marks you deserve!

Experienced

You can put your trust in my 15 years experience of exam accompaniment. I regularly play for exams at the Yorkshire School of Music and Drama, and well as other various exam centres around Leeds and Harrogate.

Versatile

As a strong sight-reader I will easily fit into your style of playing. I don't mind whether you give me traditional music or need me to read from chord symbols - I have a varied background in classical, jazz and pop music.

All levels

I am used to accompanying the full-range of musical grade exams, from 1-8, and for every musical instrument, including the voice, so don't hesitate to get in touch for a competitive quote for your accompaniment.
Come for a relaxed pre-exam run through in my dedicated, sound-proofed rehearsal space.

Performance Grade Exam video recordings now done.
Exams needn't be a stressful experience! They should be an enjoyable performance opportunity and a chance to grow as a musician. I take pride in being able to put the candidate at their ease and relax into the situation - I have often been complimented on as much.
