Margaret graduated from London University with a joint Honours Degree in Music and German. After spending four years in Salzburg, Austria, she returned to England to work as a teacher. Living in Leeds, she developed her career as a freelance pianist and accompanist, working especially with solo singers and instrumentalists as well as choirs and operatic societies. She also branched out into Musical Directing for several musical plays and conducting a small choir.
This was followed by 2 years in Holland where she expanded her linguistic abilities,
teaching piano and flute in English, German and Dutch, directing a multi-national
choir and working with a Dutch clarinettist.
Returning to England, eight years ago, she has become established as an accompanist,
teacher and choral director in the Chester area. She has performed with many soloists
and choirs, and works for Music in Hospitals, as well as teaching privately from
beginners to diploma level and working for Music for Life.
For six years Margaret has worked part-time at Sir John Deane’s College helping music
students to develop and rehearse their A-level repertoire, as well as directing the
Chamber Choir. She now teaches music at The Queen’s Lower School, where she directs
the Junior Choir.
