Jean
has been playing professionally for more than 20 years. She began playing at the
age of three, playing nursery rhymes on her parents piano. She comes from a very
musical family, both her mother and grandparents being musical. Her natural
musical ability began to show at the age of five. Her parents sent her to a
music teacher who put her through her grades on the piano, then through Trinity
College of Music in London and eventually becoming an associate of that college.
At the age of eleven, Jean was appointed organist at her local church and even
now, when time permits, plays there when the organist has some time off. Moving effortlessly between grand piano, custom built
electronic keyboards and mighty Wurlitzers, Jean often comes on to the stage
still deciding whether to stun listeners with a breakneck "William Tell
Overture", stir up passions with the unforgettable "Dambusters
March", conjure up the swing band era with a Glenn Miller medley or rock
the house with Latin American music or something from the top London shows.
Jean's range of music is vast, ranging from classical composers to modern day
music but she excels herself when playing her own magnificent arrangements of
music from the 40's.
