| Interests | |

My special interest is Early Music, and I have been a member of various ensembles playing period instruments. I am a singer and soloist with the Occam Singers, an acclaimed amateur chamber choir, and am actively developing my voice through regular singing lessons. I regularly compose music for my church choir. I enjoy craft, calligraphy, card making, visiting art galleries, historic sites and museums, reading historical novels and watching period dramas. For fitness I regularly attend aerobics classes at my local sports centre and I go riding once a week. Last year I began designing web sites in my spare time, and am currently designing a site for a musical instrument maker. References available on request |
