Born
in Aylesbury into a musical family, Penny confesses that her life revolves
around music. Her father used to play records to her from a very early
age, her sister sang to her and her mother used to play hymns on the
piano. As a small child, Penny started knocking out tunes on an
ancient piano and at the age of twelve started on classical pipe organ.
She admits to being somewhat of a 'slow starter' having reached only Grade
2 Piano by the time she was thirteen. However, she progressed rapidly
after this to the point where she was awarded a study bursary by the
National Federation of Music Festivals. Other studies followed at the
Royal College of Music, Royal College of Organists and the Guildhall
School of Music and Drama. She is now a popular performer on the organ and
keyboard society circuit, playing her Yamaha EL900, and manages to squeeze
in time to be an Examiner for the London College of Music and has
broadcast on Radios 2 and 4, Classic FM and often local radio. She has
also been featured on the BBC2 Radio show The Organist Entertains.
