I started the piano as a youngster and attended the Royal College of Music Junior Department. Then then opted for what seemed sensible and secure at the time: a career in Physics, leading to a Ph.D. and am currently a Senior Development Scientist, principally in Applied Optics, based in Malvern, UK.

Rather than having Elgar's Nimrod take up valuable limited headspace (the moustache in my picture has long gone) on many walks of surrounding Elgar Country (with wife and son's lagging accompaniment), I find myself more regularly yearning for the piano masters such as Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin and Debussy. Examples of projects have included
- comparing and contrasting a selection of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 with pieces from Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis, rounding off with Franck's Prelude Chorale & Fugue.
- Attempt at the whole collection of Chopin Etudes
- Various selections from the ABRSM Diploma repertoire, with a view I will enter myself one day
- Op. 118 Brahms Klavierstuck
Whilst recent years have seen family's hungry mouths and minds eating into practice time, I have always strived to keep the music ticking over; taking lessons, attending the Morely College weekly Advanced Piano Class during a spell whist living in London, along with the Hereford summer school, various Jackdaws Music Trust weekend courses, the odd concert or two, and present attendance of the Elgar School of Music's Piano Club.
