Wendy began to play the piano at the age of six, and was offered a place to study at The Royal Academy of Music from the age of nine.

Wendy loves teaching the piano both at The Grange School, Hartford, as well as her thriving private teaching practice. When not teaching, Wendy is the pianist and Assistant Musical Director of the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service Choir who were formed, and subsequently reached the final of the BBC 2 second series of ‘Sing While You Work’ with Gareth Malone.
Wendy has worked as a soloist and accompanist throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe for singers and instrumentalists, and has performed several times on television and radio.
Wendy is thrilled to work as a UK and international examiner for ABRSM, which has involved travelling and examining in China, Singapore and Hong Kong, and enjoys promoting and encouraging musical education and a joy of making music in everyone.

The moment most likely to guarantee a smile from me is when I start to play the exit music. Everyone is so excited and happy when the newly married couple start to walk down the aisle, ready to start their new life together.
Playing a piece of classical music, an excerpt from Variation 18 from Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, for a bridal entrance. it was a very moving moment as the bride walked in to this beautiful music.

Kind words
“Wendy was asked to perform at our intimate church wedding. As a bride, I was quite specific on some of the pieces I asked her to play. She handled new songs beautifully and really understood the brief I had given her. Wendy is so professional with her passion for piano playing, she really sees the importance of how music sets the tone at an event and takes her work very seriously. She truly is a ray of sunshine at an event and is also extremely stylish in her appearance - every aspect of her performance is extremely well considered which turns Wendy from being great, to world class.
