Peace – Tranquility (2’) This was written the day after I had been to a choral workshop with a friend. My life was very busy, with both teaching and as a carer and, as we waited in the car, as we were early, on a cold, crisp night, it suddenly struck me how peaceful it was. Total silence –…

Prelude (2’) This is a lyrical prelude that is also useful as a teaching piece, as it involves broken chords moving up the piano where the hands cross, with a melody to be brought out at the top note.

I am more than happy for those bars to be played at the speed I take them!…

The second section has passages of interwoven fast running semi quavers which moves into the section with the ‘big,…

Rain in the City – Amir Dawoodbhai This piece was inspired by a sudden torrential downpour during the evening rush hour in the City of London. Commuters in places like Central London are fascinating to watch, akin to a great army of ants on the move. Then, a sudden downpour interrupts this seemingly endless procession. It may only be less…
Rainbows of Human Emotion was written during Lockdown, and was inspired by a poem, which was in turn, inspired by a pupil sharing a piece of her artwork via an online piano lesson. The piece was in bright colours, which reminded me of the rainbow as a symbol support of the NHS. The piece reflects upon human emotion, in relation…
