She initially studied at Trinity College with Edgar Hunt and Gwyneth George, and recently returned to Trinity to do postgraduate work on late French viols and the pardessus de viole. She has performed extensively on the professional concert scene, as a soloist and with her trio, "Musica Leonarda", playing with leading early musicians such as Ibi Aziz, Jenny Bullock and the counter-tenor, Joseph Schlesinger. In 2003, she gave the world premiere of Christopher Wood's "Chantry Suite" for pardessus de viole, written for Cecile Dolmetsch. She has also worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and professional dance groups such as Saltarello.

Around 40 pupils a year now study viol.
