Music is a great passion of Kelsey’s, having played the violin from the age of 6 before moving onto to the oboe, voice and piano. The oboe took the crown for Kelsey as it became his primary instrument. Playing at a multitude of venues both orchestrally and solo, Kelsey has a wide experience of professional playing to share with other aspiring, young musicians.
Later into Kelsey’s musical journey, he picked up the pipe organ - firstly playing at his local church accompanying a choir, to performing pieces at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Taking part in master classes with the Royal College of Organists, Kelsey has an abundance of knowledge for both the piano and organ. Currently, he focuses his time on widening his piano repertoire.
Kelsey also studied music up to A-Level before focusing on mathematics, so he has a firm understanding of a broard range of syllibi, including ABRSM, Trinity and LCM. Kelsey can also provide expert lessons in music theory to develop your child’s overall musicianship as well as their confidence in performing.
