As Musical Director of The Swingles for seven years, I was fortunate to have Ward Swingle, the group's founder, as my mentor and I began coaching choirs and a cappella groups throughout the world. I later founded and directed my own group AQUILA at St John’s College, Cambridge. I work with all types of choir, from youth choirs to professional chamber choirs and everything in between.

I’m a presenter for the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), Leading Voices in Utrecht, the Association of British Choral Directors (ABCD) and for Voice Festival UK. During the pandemic, I directed courses online for Choir of the Earth. My expertise in the world of a cappella led to me judging for the Sky One television show SING: Ultimate A Cappella.

My most popular workshop is You can sing…but can you swing?! which I present to choirs all over the world, helping them to gain confidence when singing in non-classical styles. I do this by de-mystifying terms such as “swing” and encouraging singers to “step-click” as they sing, passing on my top tips and expertise.
