ALL ABOUT PRACTICE.
First and foremost, my portfolio is an exposition of my constant progress as a musician – proof of my constant journey of improvement, and my exploration of the vast world that is music.
My portfolio, in one part, is a collection of my recorded live performances, from my first gigs with my band, ‘Alibi Island’, at the age of 13, to more advanced solo and orchestral performances.
The other part of my portfolio consists of my compositions. These range from basic melodies composed on novice music software, to more advanced projects made on LogicPro and Sibelius. This section to me is most valuable, as it is a journey that I only recently began, and a journey that I hope to continue through the rest of my studies, and into the working world.
The works that I publish to my portfolio are a demonstration of my accomplishments, devotion, and direction.

Dawn of a Long Night
Own Composition, created on the Sibelius music notation software. Dawn of Long Night felt to me like it was encapsulating that moment when a long, hard night has reached it's end, and the early morning peaks it's hopeful head through the clouds.
Polonaise in G# Minor | Frédéric Chopin
My interpretation of one of Chopin's most well known polonaises. Submitted to the London International Music Competition 2022.
Raindrop Prelude | Frédéric Chopin
A performance of one of Chopin's many moving, emotional pieces, the Raindrop Prelude, played during the Interschools Music Festival in March 2022, and winning 1st Class Honours, awarded by the accomplished Thérèse Fahy.
