Musician
Jamie has had a passion for music from an early age, singing in choirs and learning cello and piano from the age of 6. They studied music at the University of Edinburgh, during which time they became involved in the University’s Music in the Community programme. It was through this programme that they had the opportunity to deliver creative projects in special schools for the first time and to experience first-hand the positive impact and benefits that music can have for people with additional and complex needs. Jamie went on to study French horn at the Royal Northern College of Music and graduated in 2011 with distinction. Since then, Jamie has worked as a freelance creative practitioner for a number of educational organisations and has been employed by Trafford Music Service and The Music Academy Theyffield. They also work as a composer and have been commissioned to write for voices and brass and to produce live and recorded music for theatre. With the theatre, they have toured throughout Europe and South America as an actor/musician and musical director.
