Library

Music can be hard to classify (and sometimes I think we shouldn't try), but here you will find music that loosely fits into the 'contemporary classical' genre, such as string trios, songs and works for small chamber ensembles.

Pieces for students

This collection of pieces is the result of many years of teaching. Whilst I remain a huge fan of technical exercises and scales, I also realise that when you begin to learn an instrument it's also just nice to play some 'real' music for your own pleasure! Each one of these pieces was written with a particular student in mind, to (hopefully) answer a need, whether it be to improve their triad placing or to have something 'a bit like Debussy, all pretty and waterfall-y, but I'm not very advanced yet so maybe something with no lever changes?'
