Triumph Over Adversity tackles the subject of bullying. I was severely bullied at school, so this depicts bullying in a school situation: but bullying can happen anywhere, at any time and any stage of life. This is my journey, in music, from first pieces written at the time, through to those written at music college and since, the themes of…

Tsunami, is a piano duet that was born of one of the most moving musical experiences if have had. It was written immediately after the devastating Tsunami in the Philippines in the autumn of 2018. It was a joint improvisation between myself and a pupil. As we played, you could feel our emotion being communicated through the music. Luckily, we…

Waltz A short, light, pretty waltz, only one minute in length. This particular waltz had no particular inspiration, save that of the enjoyment of playing the piano! It has an almost balletic quality. It could be useful as an encore piece. It is also available in my collection of Five Waltzes. The sound file here is…
Waltz – Heidi Philpott This is a charming, pretty waltz for solo piano and would be lovely for a pupil to learn, knowing that someone their age group (Heidi was sixteen when she wrote the piece) had composed it. I have certainly enjoyed playing it! (Please note that this sound sample is from an electronic file). Price: £2.50…

Waltz ‘Inspiration' (3’) This waltz was written in July 2018. It was sitting on my piano, half completed, when a pupil, who had lost her spark for enjoying playing was looking for something new. I suggested this… and she loved it! It really inspired her... so I was inspired to finish it: we inspired each other, hence the title! …

Waltz Melancholie (2’ 15”) This was composed in one sitting, at about midnight. I was enjoying improvising. It was written down from the remembered improvisation. It has a somewhat melancholy feeling at the opening – it's in C minor. Part way through, it glows with warmth as it moves suddenly to A flat major. (Here, there needs to be…

Wandering By The Water, for piano and flute, was in fact, an improvisation, between myself and a pupil. I have always loved improvising, and enjoy passing this onto pupils, often unlocking the door to their hitherto hidden talents. On this occasion, both my pupil (on the piano ) and myself (on the flute, my second instrument) improvised together, to a…
