Welcome to my homepage; I hope you will find browsing through the information here interesting. As a saxophone and clarinet player, I participate in a number of groups which perform regularly in and around Worcestershire, UK. These groups are available for bookings; contact information is available on this website or the associated site.

image image Students and teachers may find the resources helpful; some are free (in pdf form) and can be downloaded and printed immediately. Others (such as compositions and arrangements) can be purchased for a small charge from Sibelius Music. Further information is also available there, including recordings of some of the pieces.

image My principal interest as far as ensemble playing is concerned is saxophone quartet music and larger groups of saxophones, so you will find something of a bias towards this area. I have also done arrangements for other groups, such as big band, jazz orchestra and orchestra. Many of these arrangements have been written with particular players in mind and would be suitable for school and college groups, whilst still providing something musically challenging.

image I currently teach at Malvern St James where I run a number of groups for which many of my arrangements have been written.
