My main instrument is piano. I was 'classically trained' up to Grade 8 whilst at school but have always enjoyed ensemble work whether it is accompanying a choir or soloists, knocking out chords and cover songs or performing original stuff.

Sax - have played alto in quartets, Big Bands and wind orchestras. Would love to be part of a regular ensemble, preferably rooted in jazz.

Singing - bass/baritone voice, not formally trained but consider myself to be 'above amateur' with years of experience in school choirs, local semi-professional choirs and was even lead singer in a covers band!

Clarinet - Grade 8 'classically trained' again, if anyone is interested!

Technically very able at all of the above - can sightread with ease, but prefer to read chords or music rather than improvise. Also able to write / transpose if necessary and have scoring software if required.

Reason for seeking musicians now - followed engineering as a career!

Influences:

Ben Folds Five, Elton John, Dave Matthews Band, Maynard Ferguson, Glenn Miller orchestra, Incubus, to name but a few.....
