I was born in Scotland but have lived in Johannesburg, South Africa for many years with my South African husband. I began my singing studies with famous British duettists Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth, when I was seventeen. Two years later they asked me to act as studio accompanist for Webster, when Anne - who usually accompanied the students - had other commitments. I completed the ATCL and LTCL singing diplomas with Anne and Webster and remained friends with them until their deaths. I have attached two videos to this page featuring the voices of Anne Ziegler and Webster Booth.I appeared in concerts, musicals and operas in South Africa and the UK and have taught singing and piano for many years. After I married, I completed a BA (Honours) degree at UNISA, majoring in History, History of Music (with distinction) and English. I recently retired as musical director at a local Anglican Church after thirteen years.Since 2006 I have published several books about Anne Ziegler & Webster Booth. I published my first novel and collection of short stories in 2010, and a further novel, "Just the Echo of a Sigh" in December 2011.
