"I
started playing the saxophone at the Patrician Youth Centre, Downpatrick
but did not learn to play from written music until I was in year
9 at school. Since then I have started to study music at GCSE
level. I have also joined the Music Centre Concert Band which
has helped me develop my playing a lot."
"I always wanted to play the saxophone
as I loved the sound of the instrument and it could be used to
express many different moods. The players who influnce me include
Clarence Clemmons, Kenny G and Charlie Parker."
