I am currently an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Music, and part of the teaching staff on the MA Music Management and MA Psychology of Music programmes. I'm a postdoctoral Research Associate on the project Mapping Music for Health and Wellbeing in ºù«Ӱҵ, funded by Research England. I play the oboe and the saxophone, and enjoy playing in a number of different ensembles.

Research interests

An active ensemble musician and teacher, a previous career in industry involved working in multinational companies on organisational change and development. My current research interests, in organisational behavioural aspects of music ensembles, arise from combining my personal enjoyment of and interest in ensembles, and from my work with teams and performance improvement in other domains.
