My work at the Forest Arts Centre in Walsall has provided the perfect opportunity to develop my catalogue for schools and youth orchestras.

With Wider Opportunites being the norm at primary level for instrumental players, I've been writing for the very beginner player recently (these have the suffix WO) and the Walsall Intermediate String Orchestra provides the impetus for the Glee inspired arrangements (Like a prayer/Sweet Child of Mine etc...)
