An amateur Scottish composer and pianist from the West of Scotland, my musical compositions are mostly simple, short piano pieces inspired by Scottish people and places.

Musical Education
My only formal keyboard training was a short series of piano lessons when I attended secondary school in the Garnock Valley in the West of Scotland. My first lesson started with Christian Petzold’s Minuet in G Major from Anna Magdelena Bach’s Notebook and by the final lesson I’d progressed to J.S. Bach’s Two Part Invention in C Major.
Musical Influences
My favourite composers of piano and keyboard music are Claude Debussy, Frédéric Chopin and J.S. Bach.
Instruments and Equipment
In the past I’ve owned a range of electronic musical instruments including an Oberheim 1000, Ensoniq Mirage, Galanti Stage Piano, Korg Poly 61, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks and Sequential Circuits Pro One. Today I play a Yamaha CP33 stage piano and use a Yamaha DX7 synth to control various ‘virtual’ instruments.
