- About me
- Originally a violinist, Shane took up the bassoon alongside of his violin after being approached by a woodwind teacher at his local music service. He is currently a Barbara Allen Scholar at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music, where he now studies with Julie Andrews for bassoon and Simon Estell and Dominic Morgan for Contra bassoon.
Prior to beginning his BMus(Hons) degree, he began training at the Royal Northern College of Music Junior department, studying with Steve Magee, after being encouraged to apply by Alan Pendlebury and Simon Durnford. The National Youth Wind Orchestra of Great Britain followed under the direction of Graeme Adams, Peter Harrison, and Simon De Souza.
An experienced orchestral player Shane has performed in many venues including Symphony Hall Birmingham, Blackheath Halls, the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Albert Hall.
Chamber ensembles include Belles n Crookes - Bassoon Octet and Sirocco Quintet - Wind Ensemble
He is currently looking for paid depping work to help towards funding for a new bassoon.
